Option to install 64-bit Flash?

[timek718]

Will there be an option on amd64 (k)ubuntu to install Adobe's 64bit flash plugin?

Not to be snarky, but that doesn't answer my question.

Your guess is as good as mine


I can find:

(Adobe) > Flash Player 10 for 64-bit Linux:

...an alpha refresh of 64-bit Adobe Flash Player 10 for Linux operating systems was released on December 8, 2009 and is available for download...

(Ubuntu) > Bug 299146 flashplugin-nonfree on amd64 should use pure 64 bit plugin:

It seems that the Ubuntu is waiting the final 64-bit Adobe Flash Player. They have been waiting it from the Intrepid...

I read the discussion to which you linked,

That's about what I expected: yeah, maybe some day, it'd be a good idea. But it also appears as well that nobody really wants to own 64bit flash.

FWIW, it would seem that an optional package suitably identified as pre-release would satisfy any reservations. Putting such a package in a PPA would be a suitable 2nd best.

I imagine that there are some licensing issues that would have to be worked out with Adobe which goes back to the likelihood that nobody really wants to own 64bit flash.
