Sorry for double post. Just to better illustrate the case, there's this famous story about Churchill: During the Second World War, Winston Churchill’s finance minister said Britain should cut arts funding to support the war effort. Churchill’s response: “Then what are we fighting for?” Same with

Abdul, you probably didn't understand my comment. AIR developers are people developing AIR runtime, not people using it (developing for AIR). In other words: there is zero gain for me (as someone who would want to develop for AIR for Linux), because it doesn't run there, unless Linux mimics Window

I'm with Spolsky on this one: I.e. I think it's too tedious to re-read the entire conversation preceding this message in every message, but I didn't know there are such rules. I'm sorry if I violated them. AIR on Linux is no longer supported, but it has never existed for amd64 architecture. The on

I didn't like it - that's true, besides, I can't even use it, since there's no AIR for Linux, so, even if it got improved, I won't probably discover that... :) However, it depends on the help materials to be generated in a certain way, so that's a dependency.

Well, the docs are not distributed as binaries, you need to compile them (not every one who can read the documentation necessarily knows how to compile it). You may only want to install (download) documentation, w/o the entire SDK to things like kindle for example etc. There are also other documen
