Hi Folks,

To install Apache Flex SDK 4.11, we finally made available an Apache Flex
Installer for Linux.

However, we received feedback that, because the Installer is an Adobe AIR
app, it is problematic for Linux users to have to install AIR first then
Install the Installer before installing the Apache Flex SDK.

For Apache Flex SDK 4.12, we have created Apache Ant scripts that can do
the install as well.  Feedback from one person who tried it is that it is
so much easier, we no longer need an Linux version of the Apache Flex
Installer.  One other person following the dev@ mailing list agreed.

Creating an Installer for Linux is a bit of a pain.  It uses the same code
base, but an older version of AIR and requires someone with a Linux setup
to build it, so it would be nice to be able to go back to just having
Installers for Mac and Windows.  However, this is your chance to voice
objections if you think we should maintain a Installer for Linux.

Speak now before it's too late... ;-)
