Chris, I just had a look at the deployment process requires by Sonatype, something I did 2 years ago, so, I didn't remembered well, it was heavy and it was only one Flex Lib built by Maven.
How do you think we can deploy our not Maven built SDK artifacts in the Sonatype way ? can it accept a compress file as a bundle of all signed artifacts or something else ? -Fred -----Message d'origine----- De : christofer.d...@c-ware.de [mailto:christofer.d...@c-ware.de] Envoyé : mardi 29 octobre 2013 21:14 À : dev@flex.apache.org Objet : AW: License Stuff But if the deal Velo and Sonatype had with Adobe was enough, I guess this would be all we need and we wouldn't have the hassle of having to implement any sort of manual deployment wrapper as I would really hate having to implement any sort if "interactive" maven build.

Even if there was such an agreement, the binary packages still could not contain Adobe stuff because a binary package can only contain the compiled results of a source package. I may still set up a simple "business" to distribute the same package as Adobe 4.6 but a license acceptance will still be required which AFAIK still poses a problem for Maven. Maybe we should add some license handling to Maven itself? -Alex On 10/29/13 12:53 PM, "Frédéric THOMAS" <webdoubl...@hotmail.com> wrote: >Not sure if it has been already asked but can't Apache / Apache Flex >sign a Distribution agreement ? > >-----Message d'origine----- >De : Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Envoyé : mardi 29 octobre >2013 17:57 À : dev@flex.apache.org Objet : Re: License Stuff > > > >On 10/29/13 7:16 AM, "christofer.d...@c-ware.de" ><christofer.d...@c-ware.de> wrote: > >>Hi Guys, >> >>I am currently talking to Brian Fox from Sonatype.
