This is a bit off-topic for debian-devel, and should probably be posted

as a question to debian-user@lists.debian.org. *Please send replies

there.



Up-to-date flash support is provided by the flashplugin-nonfree package

available from Debian's unofficial backports.org [0]. *There is no

gnash backport available, but that would be something nice to have

if someone were interested in that (each backport needs an interested

maintainer).



Best wishes,

Mike

Uhh, sadly Adobe currently doesn't support their flashplugin on the
AMD64 architecture, but with a small trick you an use the 32-Bit version
of the plugin on AMD64. Please see the instructions on
http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer#Debian5.0.27Lenny.27amd64


Best regards,
Alexander

Yes, sometimes it's not enough to send patches to an established
project. Indeed starting a different (web) project, possibly with
different infrastructure, may be needed if one wants to change things.

Well, I don't understand much about web programming myself so this is
just talk.
