Yesterday, www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.3.183.90 was removed from the tree. Please restore it since this is the only version which does not require sse2. If you think that the security holes are too large, mask it, but please do not remove it from the tree, since there are users with non-sse2 machines who are forced by some websites to use flash. I am one of those :( (The alternatives still do not work with many websites)

I'm sorry, it's gone forever. "Flash Player 11.7 will replace version 10.3 as the extended support version beginning July 9, 2013."[1] They've done that exactly on the day, and that's when 10* was both vulnerable and unmaintainable. Please find the ebuild at [URL] and put it in a local overlay. [1] http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2013/05/extended-support-release-updated-to-flash-player-11-7.html
If there's no pressure from the distros, the upstream bugs will get nowhere. Sure, these setups are quite a bit out of date, but they still work decently (well, at least in the tasks you'd put them to these days).

It didn't go anywhere for years when there /was/ pressure from the distros. > Sure, these setups are quite a bit out of date, but they still work decently > (well, at least in the tasks you'd put them to these days). Decently, but with gaping security holes which will never be patched. Good luck with that.
