No,,, I'm sleeping. zzz
I checked gnash, is it useful as an alternative to flash player. I think nonfree plugin is better. Of course, we cannot include it. We need some instruction about it.
I'm very sorry to have opened this issue too late.
Yes, flashplugin-nonfree has a better performance, but it cannot be included in the live image due to its non-free license. This is sometimes inconvenient when using the live DVD without persistent media.
So I'd like to suggest (for the next release) that
1) include "browser-plugin-gnash" in the live image, though it will increase the image size by 3MB or so 2) prepare instructions to install the nonfree plugin
By the way, if you install both plugins, the default will be set to the nonfree one because of its higher priority, but you can change it anytime with update-alternatives:
$ sudo update-alternatives --set flash-mozilla.so /usr/lib/gnash/libgnashplugin.so
or
$ sudo update-alternatives --set flash-mozilla.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
This seems to be an easy way to compare their performances.
Is it still possible to add some SWF related packages?
