Re: [8u-dev announce] Future contributions to openjfx/8u-dev

2019-01-18 Thread Tom Schindl
Well maybe mirror was the wrong term - I think now that 8u-dev is force
and won't see any changes anymore. A one time dump is what we should
have somewhere on git/github.

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.

I'm not sure that an 8u-dev mirror would be suitable for the javafxports 
project, but if someone wanted to set up such a mirror elsewhere they 
could do so. It might be best left to the future maintainer (if any 
suitable party steps forward) to determine whether and where to host a 
git mirror.

[8u-dev announce] Future contributions to openjfx/8u-dev

2019-01-07 Thread Kevin Rushforth

This is a follow-up to the "heads-up" [0] email I sent before the New Year.

As has been previously announced [1][2], Oracle will no longer 
contribute to the JDK 8 Updates Project after the January 2019 quarterly 
CPU release of JDK 8u202. Since JavaFX for JDK 8 is delivered as a part 
of the JDK, Oracle will also no longer contribute to the OpenJFX 8u-dev 
code line (8u-dev/rt repo) after JDK 8u202 ships.


This means that Oracle is stepping down as the maintainer of the 
openjfx/8u-dev code line after January. As with the JDK 8 Updates 
Project, a suitable party might step forward to maintain the 8u-dev code 
line in the OpenJFX Project once the final Oracle-led JDK 8 Update 
release has been published. If such a party is nominated, we will 
discuss how to best enable such a transition on this Project's mailing list.
