[opensuse-factory] Flash 9 as a YOU update for 10.2?
I know that it would be out-of-the-ordinary to do a version update through YOU for a released SUSE, but an update to flash9 would really benefit a huge lot of users and would just make SUSE look good (perhaps appear on digg frontpage). It's not such a large file and does not have the potential to break other things in the distro. What do you think? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

In general, I would say a good idea. As Flash 7 brings several problems with pages that Flash 9 solves. I have one issue when upgrading (does not concern 'regular' users, but the issue can be interesting to follow): If one installs the x86_64 edition fo Firefox (I did so) and the nspluginwrapper to be able to use the 32bit plugings (like flash, works great) there is an issue with updating the plugins: On installation of nspluginwrapper, a 'cache' of existing plugins is created (the plugins get wrapped); FF only uses these wrapped plugins. So after upgrading the 'real' Flash Plugin to Version 9, FF still only had the Version 7 Plugin. For the future, such a case should be solveable, as 64bit FF with the wrapper will most likely get more common than it is today. Greetings, Dominique @WR: I hope you don't mind me CCing here, as you're the Mozilla Maintainer in the BS I thought it might be appropriate.

We are planning to do so I think. I also guess that Adobe has now discontinued the flash7 line, so with the next security issue in flash we will have to update all products to flash9.

It would be great.

This would be assuming that a flash7 security vulnerability is discovered soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, I know our luck. There likely will be. :) Ciao, Marcus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
