Sorry to chime in late (and top-post), but I want to make sure we are doing the right thing and that Bertrand is truly comfortable with his vote. I've had trouble following this thread because I couldn't understand the specifics.
The InstallApacheFlex app produced by compiling the source distribution does download stuff to the user's computer. It is not just re-arranging stuff that is already on the user's computer. I do not agree with Nick's definition of "install". Many installers just download stuff and wait for you to run it. Yes some installers inject stuff into the OS that starts running without user action, but most application installers do not, IMO. I am unclear what level of granularity Bertrand is concerned about. The InstallApacheFlex app certainly offers you the choice about four of the packages that will be downloaded as you have to accept the licensing, but we are not calling out the individual files in those packages. I think there are other packages that are downloaded without warning. The first, of course, is the binary distribution of Apache Flex 4.8.0, but I think that is implied by running this app in the first place. But is the installer also downloading, for example, SWFObject, which has a compatible MIT license? I had forgotten about that when I was reviewing the release. -Alex On 9/26/12 9:21 AM, "Bertrand Delacretaz" <bdelacre...@apache.org> wrote: > On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 4:21 PM, Carol Frampton <cfram...@adobe.com> wrote: >> ...As Nick pointed out "install" isn't really the right word. >> We're just creating the SDK which consists of a directory of files which >> are pulled from various sources.... > > That's the bit that I was missing, if the installer is not actually > installing anything that makes a big difference. > > With this clarification I'm +1 on the release of the source distributions: > > MD5 (apache-flex-sdk-installer-1.0.4-incubating-src.tar.gz) = > d28a8d0f145a52e25bc48c4676c4242a > MD5 (apache-flex-sdk-installer-1.0.4-incubating-src.zip) = > fe4fc5b0b30790bf1689910f93063b9f > > -Bertrand -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
