Update: Interestingly, the RC Nightly does not build correctly. The build machine is having character set issues. Pardon the extra builds while I get that ironed out.
The implication of this is that nobody ever tried to run a build on the RC nightly’s source package. I know I didn’t, I had been focused on checking the legal files in the repo. But we probably need to do better. -Alex On 1/21/15, 9:14 AM, "Alex Harui" <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > > >On 1/21/15, 5:34 AM, "Erik de Bruin" <e...@ixsoftware.nl> wrote: >> >>In accordance with the new release policy, this is the time to test >>the release.
