Hello fellow TUs,

I have come across people who picked a flashplugin package from the AUR over the one in [extra]. I feel that x86_64 flashplugin packages should be removed from the AUR now that the official one supports both architectures. Furthermore, Opera seems to get along just fine with flashplugin from [extra] so we don't need Opera-specific packages either.

Packages in question are:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18096 (flashplayer-opera64) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21601 (flashplugin-alpha-64) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17442 (flashplugin-beta-opera) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18695 (flashplugin-mozilla, maintainer believes this should stay because "the official plugin doesn't have mms.cfg" - not sure what this is :>) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14074 (flashplugin-opera) http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21607 (flashplugin-x86_64) From the above, I'd say that the following can be safely deleted: flashplayer-opera64 flashplugin-alpha-64 flashplugin-beta-opera flashplugin-opera flashplugin-x86_64

Any opinions on this? Do you think we should proceed with the removal of these packages in order to avoid confusion between them and flashplugin from [extra]?

Hello, I would say delete them all. Regards Stefan
