** Description changed: - Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree + I am requesting a FFe for Adobe Flash 10 RC2 (10.0.12.10). - Hello, - Could you please update the flash plugin to the latest available RC ? - The announce is there : http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/08/10rc1.html + Current version in Intrepid: Flash 10 beta 2 (release history of Flash 10: beta 1, beta 2, rc1, rc2). + Rationale: + a) This version incorporates many bugfixes, improved performance & stability. + b) We *must* update the Flash plugin, as the preview versions of Flash 10 are *not* archived (i.e. beta 1, 2, and + rc1 will not be available, so the package will fail to install). + c) Beta 2 was considered for many as the *worst* version of Flash 10, due to severe performance issues. This has been fixed since rc1. + d) Stephen Hermann and Alexander Sack have released updates to ia32-libs and nspluginwrapper to ensure this update works correctly (due to depends on new external libraries). - And please, backport it to Hardy ;) + Caveats: we will require an SRU when Flash 10 is final, but is necessary + work due to the closed-source nature of the product, and concerns for + vulnerability issues, etc. - Thanks a lot ! + You can find the proposed debdiff in comment #27, compliant to FFe + guidelines.
