Unlike stable 10.1, this plugin has a native 64 bits version. As experienced by some users, this preview version is more stable that the latest stable one on 64bits OS in some situation ; on the other hand, using a native x64 plugins would allow to get rid of every 32bits package that are installed "just for" flash player, and which waste disk place. It would be nice, as OpenSUSE 11.4 will ship in Q1 2011, to have a "package" that provides flash square (with classic EULA notification) for 64bits version of opensuse instead of flash 10.1. Discussion: #1: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) (2010-12-05 19:10:05) I think it won't happen. Just a few days ago adobe released a 32-bit beta version of flash 10.2 with no 64-bit version available. I think it's safe to say that version 10.2 will be 32-bit only. In fact there's a preview 3 the "square" branch which the url http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ flags as version 10.3, despite the fact that the tarball's name suggests that this preview 3 is still version 10.2. + #2: Denis Kuplyakov (denerkup) (2011-01-19 16:06:19) + I am using openSUSE 11.3 now with "square" release.

Until Flash 64-bit comes out alpha and beta. It will not be approved for inclusion on the DVD download. The question is. Will it be reading by November 2011? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310885
