> http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release
>
> At a minimum you would be expected to check that:
> - SHA and signed packages are correct
> - README, RELEASE_NOTES, NOTICE and LICENSE files are all fine
> - That the build script completes successfully
> - That you can compile and crosscompile a simple example using the SDK.

> The KEYS file is at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/royale/KEYS

> The source package is a combination of the 3 main Royale repos.

> To use the binary package, unzip it into a folder. The -js package is
> ready-to-use in an IDE or command-line. If you need SWF output, use the
> -js-swf package and use Apache Ant to run the InstallAdobeSDKs script via:
>     ant -f InstallAdobeSDKs.xml

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

> The vote passes if there is:

> - More positive votes than negative votes

> Remember that this is a 'beta-quality' release so expect there will be

> When voting please indicate what OS, IDE, Flash Player version and AIR

> For your convenience, there is an ant script that automates the common

> 1) create an empty folder,
> 2) download into that folder this file:
> https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/royale/0.9.8/rc4/ApproveRoyale.xml
> 3) run the script:
>    ant -e -f ApproveRoyale.xml -Drelease.version=0.9.8 -Drc=4
>    If you want to test SWF support during the approval, use:
>    ant -e -f ApproveRoyale.xml -Drelease.version=0.9.8 -Drc=4
> -Duse-flash=true
>
> You are not required to use this script, and more testing of the packages
> and build results are always encouraged.

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