Hi, See FLEX-33188 where I have started a discussion about this, that I think should involve the PPMC more widely, to make sure people are on the same page.
IMO, Flex needs a website page with information about binaries vs. releases, as IIUC the project's intention is to make it easy for users to download binaries. The one Erik has created at http://incubator.apache.org/flex/installer-disclaimer.html is pretty good, but IMO it's not just about the installer, that should just be about "Flex binaries" and other modules can then point to that. See also [1] and [2], and note that in [1] the Subversion project does not maintain binaries themselves, they leave that to third parties and just point to them and their maintainers, it's a nice model but I don't know if that would apply to Flex. -Bertrand [1] http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html for an example [2] http://www.apache.org/dev/release
