Bug#602499: Had upstream blocker bug
control: forwarded -1 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34221
Hi,
I am interested in packaging flex.
They are some problem mainly due to non modularised build. It will
speed up review by ftpmaster and allow to get this software by piece
in the archive.
I have summarized upstream:
1. You use a monolithic build tree. It means that we should take a
take it all approach. It slow down the packaging work and render
review (by legal team) slow. Could be possible to have a modularized
approach ? I means that every jar in lib/ has it own package and we
could compile independantly, and does not need to source include them.
I am mainly interested on mxmlc not debugger.
2. Could be possible then to do not use and even get source needing
air/ Adobe Flash Player Content Debugger (it seems possible I compiled
mxmlc without it) ? It is not free and not suitable for distro.
3. Could be possible to use your packaged saxon/xerces/javacc/battikk
and so on. If not could you document why and include patch from
upstream (as a distro we could include it on your package).
4. Could be possible to use joola for playerglobal [1] see also
tamarin project [2]
Thank you very much
Bastien
