Ok, I found this:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/10/msg00195.html

Which points to :

http://mentors.debian.net/package/flex-sdk-4.5

However this leads to an error. Digging further I found:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/10/msg00421.html

Which leads to:

http://alioth.debian.org/scm/?group_id=100677

I cannot retrieve from git it fails with:

$ git clone git+ssh://malat@git.debian.org/git/pkg-flex-sdk/pkg-flex-sdk.git
Cloning into 'pkg-flex-sdk'...
fatal: '/git/pkg-flex-sdk/pkg-flex-sdk.git' does not appear to be a
git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Looking at:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/

I do not see any 'pkg-flex-sdk'.

Do you know where all your work went ?

Thanks,
