Right, let's do a head count: Mageia 64bit users who are using the 64bit Adobe Flash 11 Beta 1, please raise your hand (my hand is raised already, I've been using it for 2-3 days). The point, if there's no other easy way to watch flash for 64bit users without jumping through hoops (using nspluginwrapper, which is occasionally problematic, or using a 32bit browser on an x86_64 system, which entails installing some more 32bit libs), there's a good chance they'll use flash 11, alpha/beta/rc is still better than the hoops. Also we're talking about pushing it to backports, not updates. Anyway, since I am personally not affected by the whole issue, I am not pushing to submit to mga1, do a poll or whatever, when a consensus is reached we can act accordingly. > -- > Michael Scherer > > -- Ahmad Samir
