Hi Folks, This is mostly directed at the PMC members: As you've seen Darkstone has been translating the installer strings to Chinese. The current FlexJS release cannot be installed in China because some google sites are blocked over there. Last night I found the Google Closure Compiler binaries on Maven (only sources are available on GitHub) and have found a version I think works, but for Google Closure Library which also exists on GitHub, there has been much upheaval in the code base recently, and we get bunches of warnings with the only distribution I can find there. It seems to require a newer version of GCC which in turns seems to have additional integration issues with FlexJS. I tried integrating the latest GCC, but after a couple of tries decided it might be a longer series of issues than I want to spend time on right now, so I think I've found a version that works with our code, but not the GCL distribution.
So, my next plan is to bundle GCL in the FlexJS binary package. Because of all of the upheaval in GCL, I'm not sure we want folks to override which version they use. So by bundling and locking in a version, we also remove another barrier to being able to install in China. GCL is under AL so I believe we can "just do it". I'm testing it out now. Let me know if you can think of any issues or reasons we shouldn't do it. Thanks, -Alex
