Is anybody actually addressing the issues people have been reporting about the installer and/or ANT script for Flex SDK 4.16.0?
Right now I see two major issues that are preventing even people who are familiar with the SDK from doing installs : - In the installer, selecting AIR 25.0 gives users a non-descript "error 1000". This is due toe the md5 checking in the installer running out of memory - Trying to install via ANT is also broken under Windows (any version of AIR SDK). As packaged, it always errors because it tries to install the MacOS AIR SDK. Additionally, the optional components that are currently hosted on sourceforge fail to download due to some SSL errors (I've tested this with the latest java sdk and ANT build). The AIR installer issue will require us to rip-and-replace the md5 calculation functions. I've started looking at it, but I don't think it will be an easy feat. Fixing the ANT script for Windows trying to install the mac air dmg is an easy fix (but it will require us to do a dot release to push it out) The SSL errors are because sourceforge is using SANs on their SSL certs, and the current versions of ANT don't know how to read them to validate them. This may be out of our control. Anybody know if we can convince Adobe to either donate those chunks of code or at least to move them to a different host? It looks like the code involved is OSMF, AFE, AGLJ, rideau and Flex-Fontkit. The alternative to a different host is for us to ignore SSL errors, but that could be potentially dangerous. If nobody is working on these, I can start to take a crack at them, but honestly, the installer is extremely fragile at this point and I'm not looking forward to even trying to figure out what is going on in there again. -Nick
