Questions:

1)

Where will be the source for Flash be located in the SVN?
In the main source tree together with PHP or in a separate area?

2)
Will the Flash sources be shipped with typo3_src-4.x.y.tgz or will they
be available (as references) in a separate tar file?


Thoughs:

It probably makes more sense to have all sources in one tree. But as I
think that the Flash sources shouldn't be shipped in typo3_src-4.x.y.tgz
this will require be extra task for the release manager a) to compile
tge Flash binaries and b) to remove the sources from the package. In
essence this means that you need a build script to create a
distribuition package from the sources. until now you could - more or
less - simply do a checkout.

So I think you oversimply things when you are not willing to care for
such details.
