Justin, you have made the crucial point 'parity with the Win player and AIR'. The issue is Adobe support or I guess the lack of it. So long as there is a freeze on Linux support player and run-time. Its really not properly supported. I suppose it can be supported with a caveat. I have unfortunately had to stop doing any AS/Flex development on Linux. There have been so many advancements to AIR and the player that to stick with Linux did not seem to me a sensible choice.
ps:I have to grudgingly admit though that since I installed Dexpot (which gives me my multiple 3D desktops) and Windowblinds,(to customize my workspace), my system now looks like my LinuxMint so I'm having to admit that Win 7 does not suck. (That's a really difficult thing to say, but its true) ~a~ www.ayobinitie.com http://mrbinitie.blogspot.com On 29 April 2013 05:27, Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > Also, I'm not sure it will be practical in the short term to make the > > official release (the source package) support Linux as the build script > of > > the source package requires compiling PixelBender source files and there > is > > no PixelBender compiler for Linux. > I see releasing the source code and building it as two separate issues > (and noted as such in the sub tasks).
