Bertrand Delacretaz commented on FLEX-33188:
--------------------------------------------
I think that would be fine, that could be just a link to an explanations page
at http://incubator.apache.org/flex/ with a title like "about Flex binaries" or
something like that.
BTW, does the installer check digests or signatures of what it downloads? If it
does not, that creates a very open backdoor...

> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: InstallApacheFlex
> Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Assignee: OmPrakash Muppirala
> Fix For: InstalApacheFlex 1.0
>
>
> IIUC InstallApacheFlex automatically downloads Flex binaries (FLEX-33187).
> As the ASF does not release binaries [1], I think the installer needs to warn
> its users that they should get the source code instead if they want an ASF
> release.
> [1] Search for "binar" at http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html for more info
