The security and/or alpha status decision are political reasons. A pragmatist would say that the x86_64 actually provides a better user experience and makes Ubuntu look better and could be pulled (if necessary) if there is a major security problem.
Simply put, the nspluginwrapper solution does not work nearly well enough. Flash is important for many users to use the web. It's simply not good enough that this issue has been raised for over a year without any resolution. Most users won't even look at the wiki, they will just install Flash using Synaptic, it'll crash their browser, they'll say "Ubuntu sucks" and move on. Saying this information shouldn't even be on the wiki is beyond ridiculous. nspluginwrapper is a buggy hack. I'm not sure why it's seen to be of higher quality than an alpha release made by the actual creators of Flash. -- Please package flashplugin 64bit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
