What version of openjdk8's source do I get to build update 131, same as oracle's latest? jdk8/jdk8u?

Viewed 829

I'm trying for a few days to build my own jdk8 on RHEL 7.3. Until now I was using the source here: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/

But there is also http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/

1) What are the differences between the two?

2) Which one do I have to choose to get update 131 (same as oracle for now)?

When I download the source and do hg tags:

a)In jdk8, there is one jdk8-b131 with tag 939

b)In jdk8u, there is plenty of jdk8:

jdk8-b131 with tag 955

jdk8u131-b00 with tag 1888

up to jdk8u131-b11 with tag 1915

Could anyone explain to me what genius is managing this? And where do I get THE source to build my jdk at home? And Why?

Thx, Animal
