I'm self-beating me to it, found time to do that now. Thanks to Carol for putting the release together, it looks mostly good, even though a few things that should be easy to fix stand in the way. I have ignored the -incubating-bin.tar.gz file, we don't release binaries, so -1 on that one. The -src archive looks good, with two open questions which lead me to a -1 for now: 1) The -src archive does contain a few binary files: an flv, an mp3 and a ttf which should be harmless. But how about ./frameworks/projects/flash-integration/FLA/ContentHolder.fla? How can people check that file in order to trust it? Remember that I'm clueless about Flash and Flex in general, I'm only here as an incubation mentor...the answer might be trivial. 2) Do we have confirmation that the Flex trademark agreement between Adobe and the ASF was signed? I don't think so, and we cannot release without it, as mentioned by Alex in this thread. But let's get the release archives ready, assuming that comes soon. As for the -asdocs archive, LICENCE, NOTICE and DISCLAIMER are missing, so -1 as well. See comments below for the details of what I checked and a few things that need to be fixed but wouldn't warrant a -1. -Bertrand Release check details: About apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-src: MD5 (apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-src.tar.gz) = 87121e49a13cab50ec9bee9732f05bc5 Signatures and digests match the http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/trunk/KEYS (but it would be good for release managers to get their keys signed by other Apache folk at the next opportunity). The KEYS file shouldn't be included in the distribution archives (as people must get it from a separate trusted source), please fix for the next release. Contents of the zip and tar.gz files are identical (with an extra apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-src path in the tar.gz file, not a problem). DISCLAIMER is present. LICENCE is present but the "For the asc compiler in modules/asc..." bit is already in the NOTICE file, can be removed from LICENSE, please fix for the next release. NOTICE looks ok. The rat exclusions in build.xml look ok, I understand a rat report that looks good is attached to issues.apache.org but that's down now, cannot check it. I haven't tried building, as an incubation mentor I don't care about the technical quality of the release, I'll trust Flex PPMC members to check that. One open question about an fla file, see above. About apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-asdocs: MD5 (apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-asdocs.zip) = 64cb005fc77de96005711841571647b2 Why no .tar.gz file? (doesn't affect my vote, but inconsistent). Signatures and digests match. LICENCE, NOTICE and DISCLAIMER are missing. Files like /asdoc/spark/components/ActionBar.html include an Air icon IIUC, I think there should be a notice somewhere in those pages that Air is a trademark of Adobe (and maybe Flash and other trademarks that might be mentioned).
