Steps Towards Totality...

Flex 4 (Gumbo) is having nightly builds. And I can’t wait to download every nightly build, which is more than 100 MB. So, I did a checkout of Flex 4 and have build run on my machine. Its well document on how to do a build and setup you need to have, to run Flex 4 build.

Checkout of Flex 4 is more than 200 MB and for me it has taken approx 1 hour on 256 Kbps connection. I prefer to use Tortoise SVN Client to checkin and checkout. You can download it from  the link below:
