Hi, Is there any documentation how the current javafxports mirror repository got created?
Some of our customer projects are going to be stuck on JavaFX-8 for the forseeable future and while we won't sign up for providing general support for JavaFX-8 it would be good to have a central place one can fork JavaFX-8 from. Having a central place would allow (at least in theory) that modifications and patches from different people can be merged without to much manual work.
