We need a package manager like RubyGems for distributing Flex components – Revisited
About a year ago I wrote a post about how the Flex/As3 community needs a package manager like RubyGems for managing libraries and components.
Well, I have some good news. Recently I’ve learned about two potential solutions to this problem.
The first I learned about from a comment on the original post by Luke Bayes. Here is an excerpt:
I’ve been working on ’sprouts’ for the past year and finally landed on an architecture that actually sits on top of Rubygems for package management. Even though we have a functional pre-alpha in the wild right now, we expect to release a production-ready build before the end of January 2008 that will really support versioning via Rubygems the repository.

The second potential solution is a Flex plugin for Maven. It appears that it is still under development, but it looks promising. You can check it out here.
