Hi, How's the progress on this ITP? Who is currently working on this? I think officially Robert McQueen is "owner" of this ITP. Is Matt Zimmerman taking over?
I see that this ITP is about trying to package flash with GPL. Are you sure flash _can_ be packaged GPL? Have you found solutions for the problems described in the mails in this ITP? If flash cannot be packaged GPL, do you intent to package it in the non-free section for flash support for Mozilla? I see that flash is already packaged for Netscape. I'd like to see flash packaged for Mozilla. Should we package flash again separately for Mozilla? Or can we modify the existing package to support flash for both Netscape and Mozilla (this is a question on dependencies)? When I surf with Mozilla to a flash-only website (yuk), I'm suggested to download a tarball from Macromedia. The most straightforward solution seems to be to package that tarball into a Debian package. Or should we use another source than Macromedia to make a package for flash for Mozilla? I'm interested in packaging the Macromedia tarball into a package, unless _this_ ITP produces a legal and usable package for flash for Mozilla within a reasonable time. Is it legal to simply package flash from Macromedia in the non-free section? I guess not. Should someone ask Macromedia for permission? How is this officially done? I guess an official Debian developer, which I'm not (yet?), should ask Macromedia... Bart Martens
