This package must be given a FFe, because: 1. Due to licensing issues, the actual flash plugin tar.gz is not included in this package; 2. The version of Flash currently in Intrepid is Flash 10 beta 2 sourced from the http://labs.adobe.com site. Historically, testing releases of the Flash plugin are obsoleted upon new releases, and archived version are *not* kept on Adobe's servers in individual form; 3. Flash 10 final will require the same external libraries as the release candidate, so we will inevitably require an update to ia32-lib (or a supplemental package created) for 64bit users.
Therefore, if we keep Flash 10 beta 2, the plugin will soon become uninstallable (the release candidate has obsoleted beta 2, and you can expect the download to expire just as beta 1 already has). We must also take into account the risk of security vulnerabilities in the version of Flash we are shipping. -- Update Flash plugin 10 to the new RC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
