Last week I posted a pre-release build of the new Apache Flex Installer to http://people.apache.org/~aharui/Installer/
Yesterday, I checked in an install script for the main Flex SDK. The Jenkins build has finished creating a new nightly build, so if you now run this installer and choose Flex SDK Nightly, it should use the new script to install the SDK. Please try it and let me know if you run into issues. For Linux users, the nightly build now contains the install script, so instead of having to download AIR and install the installer, you should now be able to download the nightly build from [1], uncompress it, and run ant -f installer.xml and it should run the script that asks about licenses (in a command-line format) and download and install the dependencies. This, of course, assumes you have Ant installed. Let me know if there are issues with using Ant. It worked for me on my Mac. Next up for the installer is replacing RuntimeLocale.as with separate properties files, and creating properties files for different locales in the installer.properties folders in the flex-sdk and flex-asjs folders. I should be able to get most of the way there by copying strings from RuntimeLocale.as, but it would be great to get native speakers to help out.
