Stable 64-bit Flash for Karmic?

Not too long ago, it was quite exciting that the first version of 64-bit Flash was released for Linux only! On top of that, the alpha was much more stable than using the final 32-bit version under 64-bit Linux, and i believe that alpha was almost included in Jaunty, but didn't make it because of the no non-final software rule (that has been made exceptions to before anyway). Now that the second alpha (alpha refresh) for 64-bit Flash is out, i hope that we can make an exception and include it in Karmic.

P.S. What other last minute inclusions are people looking for?

I'm personally hoping that we can get Yo Frankie! included to show off a completely FOSS/copyleft game with nice 3D graphics, that was created using entirely FOSS tools and software! It needs packaging and there's a COfundOS project offering money for completion [LP #311938 + Debian #497859]

  1. I was tempted to go 64bit with 9.04, but decided against it mainly due to the lack of support from Adobe and Mozilla.

    If Adobe release 64bit Flash and AIR then I might consider it.

  2. Lack of 64 bit support from Mozilla? What from Mozilla doesn't have 64 bit support?

  3. Go to the Firefox website, click "Other Systems and Languages" Do you see a 64bit version listed?

    I know you can get versions that have been compiled for 64bit systems, but not from Mozilla.

  5. You do know that any binaries in Ubuntu are custom-compiled for Ubuntu; we don't use upstream binaries unless we don't have the source?
