Description Jens-Uwe Peter 2010-04-23 07:10:12 UTC
Please stabilize gnash (0.8.7 working here on x86 and amd64) to give a stable alternative to adobe-flash.

Reproducible: Always

It is more than 30 days to tree so I guess it is ok to stabilize it. What do you guys think?
Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-04-23 09:52:29 UTC
gnash... stable? you have to be kidding. i'd keep it in ~arch few more years.
Comment 3 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2010-04-23 15:22:14 UTC
I am still seeing stability and performance issues with gnash-0.8.7. The version which is presently under development appears to be shaping up nicely and could be a candidate for stable.
Comment 4 Jens-Uwe Peter 2010-04-24 08:31:56 UTC
I can not confirm stability issues. Although gnash is not feature complete, it performs better than adobe-flash on my machines (x86, amd64). And gnash is even more secure than adobe-flash.

I opened a discussion (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6256746.html) to get more opinions and see if there are great stability issues.
