Release Flash Player Port

[soulanger]

Adobe's Flash Player / SWF Source seems to be out. I'm not sure when this happened, but I hope we could see this on pandora.
Correct me if the information I gave is wrong

The source isn't out, the specs for flash is out. Adobe Flash Player is still closed source.

Although this is already being discussed elsewhere, it is only the spec that is out. This should help to improve projects like swfdec and gnash but doesn’t really help us. Having had a short look into gnash, it doesn’t look like it compiles for the arm architecture

Looks like it's available for Debian armel as does swfdec. They might have bugs, since I haven't tried either, but compiling is a good first step.
For future reference http://packages.debian.org is a good test for ARM compatibility. The architecture of interest is actually armel not arm though.

Maybe it's just newer version, eitherway. I'm glad to be wrong on this.

While the source isn't out, Craig still has his heart set on Flash for Pandora:

Even with Craig's promises, I wouldn't consider this for sure, especially when dealing with a hugely popular product belonging to a hugely popular company.
