Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!
When will this flashplugin come to extra or community repo? The old x86_64 flashplugin was an alpha release, and i386 flashplugin+nspluginwrapper is a ugly hack.
My new forum user/nick name is "the.ridikulus.rat" .

these kind of questions really do no good. It will get into the repos once it has been thoroughly tested. How hard is that to understand?
I don't know why people keep asking such questions. And nothing's stopping you from using it from AUR.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!
Something weird I noticed about this flash plugin:
I used to be able to watch a flash video in my browser and grab the file out of my /tmp directory to save it on my hard drive. But with this version, I can't seem to find the downloaded file!

It was mentioned twice in this topic that flash files are now stored with the browser's cache, pogeymanz.

Yay, I can use scrolling on ad heavy pages 
And a question if I may: why can't prerelease versions go to testing repos? This is a much simpler and saner ideea than multilib for example IMHO

flash is not the only reason for having multilib. There are other 32-bit programs that 64-bit users use, you know.

Testing and multilib are two different things. Not every apps goes through testing.

Yeah, i know, i use some myself. Was just wondering why is it a bad ideea to put a prerelease package in testing. Multilib version of flashplugin was just an example to state my point.

Re: Hmm, new 64bit Flash plugin ?!
Because it's not a stable version yet, and Arch only supports stable versions in the official repositories. I guess.
