Dear mentors (and those BCC'd whom I've been speaking to about "flex-sdk"),
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "flex-sdk-4.5".
I'm on it. Expect an upload later today.
This is the latest released version of Flex from Adobe, but if either
of those packages require an earlier version of Flex, I can also
upload "flex-sdk-4.1" and "flex-sdk-4.0" alternatives that also
provide "flex-sdk".
Atleast as far as yui is concerned this won't be necessary I don't think
but I'll test and let you know.
Note that the Flex SDK itself cannot yet be built from Adobe's source
code under Debian, even though the code is released under the MPL.
Adobe's build system relies on Cygwin and some outdated and/or patched
libraries to produce the binary SDK included in this package. From
what I understand, this means that this package will have to live in
non-free until Adobe's source can be built under Debian.
Oh wait a minute. This could be a problem because that will make the
packages that build-depend on it have to go to contrib. (main can only
depend on main.)
However this seems like something that's eminently fixable. Your first
order of business should be to set up a public git repository on alioth so
that you can get the wider Debian community to help.
