nspluginwrapper a solution for 64-bit

2007-09-18 Thread Andrew Jorgensen
Would it make sense to promote nspluginwrapper [0] to main for amd64? openSUSE will be including it in 10.3[1]. It seems a better solution user-wise than including the still-alpha gnash. [0] http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/ [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News#Changes_
