Package: gnash
Severity: normal
This package's descriptions says "Currently it is in a alpha state.
The plugins are under heavy development at this time."
Il also mentions ' Gnash supports the majority of Flash opcodes up to SWF
version 7, and a wide sampling of ActionScript classes for SWF version
8.5. All the core ones are implemented, and many of the newer ones work,
but may be missing some of their methods."
Will this always be accurate? Similarly, what value will have a statement
that "the foo and bar features from SWF version x.y.z are
supported|unsupported".
That will *necessarily* change over time and the package description is
certainly something that will not be changed very often.
I suggest dropping all such statements and just mentions that the software
tries to follow the evolutions of the Flash specification (and of course
fails to do so as it may be expected with proprietary "standards").
