[VOTE] Apache Flex FalconJX 0.0.1 RC4

[Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com>]

Hi,

This is vote for the initial (0.0.1) release of the FalconJX (and Falcon)
compilers.  I am not proposing a separate Falcon-only release package at
this time.  The only purpose of the FalconJX packages are to serve as
upstream packages for the FlexJS release.

The release candidate can be found here;
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/falcon/0.0.1/rc4/

Before voting please review the section,"What are the ASF requirements on
approving a release?", at:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release

At a minimum you would be expected to check that:
- MD5 and signed packages are correct
- README, RELEASE_NOTES, NOTICE and LICENSE files are all fine
- As this is the first release please carefully check the LICENSE and
NOTICE files
- That the build script completes successfully
- That you can compile using the results of building the source package

The source package is set up the same way as the repo.  This means that
the results of the build are not the same as the binary package.  The
compiled source package can be used to build FlexJS apps via the command
line and Ant, but not in Flash Builder or other IDEs.  I tested the source
package by building it, then pointing to it from the source package of the
FlexJS release candidate and building the examples in the FlexJS package.

The binary package is set up as an upstream package for the FlexJS
release.  The most convenient way to use the binary package is to install
a FlexJS SDK via Ant or the Installer.

Please vote to approve this release:
+1 Approve the release
-1 Veto the release (please provide specific comments to why)

This vote will be open for 72 hours or until a result can be called.

The vote passes if there is:
- At least 3 +1 votes from the PMC
- More positive votes than negative votes

Remember that this is an initial 'alpha-quality' release so I expect there
will be many bugs found.  IMO the goal is not to try to find and fix bugs
in the RC, but to make sure we have the packaging right, and enough
functionality that folks will have some success trying to use it.

People who are not in PMC are also encouraged to test out the release and
vote, although their votes will not be binding, they can influence how the
PMC votes.

When voting please indicate what OS, IDE, Flash Player version and AIR
version you tested FlexUnit with.

Please put all discussion about this release in the DISCUSSION thread not
this VOTE thread.

Thanks,
Alex

+1 (binding)

Sigs ok
Builds ok.
Can be used in FlexJS builds

Definitely agree this is the bare minimum to go public with.  Still lots
of work to get to 1.0.

- sigs good
- docs meager, but seem OK
- 'ant all' target completes successfully (i.e. source builds and all tests
pass)

I'll go with Justin on this one and add that these aren't release quality
bits, but I think it is a good move to release early and (hopefully) often,
getting this new framework to where the wild things live ;-)

Hi,

+1 (binding)

NOTICE, LICENCE, RELEASE_NOTE all OK (minor formatting/line length issues)
checksum/sigs good
rat report good
can compile from source
unit tests pass
can use mxmlc and compc without error however can't use compiler.jx compc and mxmlc
was (eventually) able to test compiler.jx with upstream FlexJS  package

Note if this wasn't an alpha I wouldn't vote +1
- documentation needs some work
- compiler.jx compc and mxmlc don't work out of the box
- relies on a upstream package to correctly test and not all tests/examples are working

Tested on OSX.

Thanks,
Justin
