Why can't it be on a different repo ?  
>From our early discussion on the subject (see email thread "PixelBender and

Which means PBK sources and any reference to pixelbender should be completely 
removed from flex sdk.
Morever, the pixel-bender project in flex-utilities was supposed to have its 
own build.xml.
The result of the new pixel-bender build would be manually committed to dist 
svn repo (and voted for).

IMO, it would be much simpler to do it that way than "logically partitioning" 
the flex-sdk sources and build files.

WDYT ?

That would be required for the CI anyway wouldn't it?

Can we actually do that ie does it follow Apache release guidelines? I'm not 
sure. Does that mean we also need to vote on a release a version of pixel 
bender when making a new SDK release?

>  Do you think everything on this list is required?
Not everything, It is expected that someone can take the source release and 
compile it and verify it to what's in version control.

We can say what we want in RELEASE_NOTE/README. But it seem odd to me that you 
need the full Flex SDK is required just to make a release of pixel bender. What 
do other people think?

I would assume that LICENSE/NOTICE file needs to refer to the actual release 
(and any upstream projects) they are in not any downstream projects. The Apache 
licence make reference to the NOTICE file so we would need to legally comply 
with that.

Does this mean we need to make a new PB release every time they change?

> 4) can we say that the clean target doesn't work?
I think it would be expected that it should work.

Thanks,
Justin
