Yay for Gnash!!

I know it's been around for a while, but I just checked today and it's finally in the Debian Unstable, from Experimental, repository... YAY! In case you don't know what it is:

I don't use Unstable (Testing to be precise), but it usually only takes a few weeks before stuff transfer over.

Sorry if some of you aren't interested, I on the over hand have been waiting for Gnash to make it to Testing in a while since I've been refusing to install Flash, and this is a pretty big milestone!

That sounds really cool. I'd like to try it when it hits testing.

i wasn't aware there was anything in the works for this. i've been waiting for something like it to come along though. That is AWESOME!!!

I don't know for sure, but I think sound still isn't working (they are trying to use gstreamer). Keep an eye on it.

Great stuff! Thanks: I hadn't heard about Gnash before.

I'll save you a click:

Gnash is a GNU Flash movie player. Till now it has only been possible to play flash movies with proprietary software. While there are a few other free flash players, none supports anything higher than SWF v4 at best. Gnash is based on GameSWF, and supports many SWF v7 features.

I'm amazed that more people haven't heard about this project! I heard about it after a link I saw somewhere about all the different free projects whose goals were to implement non-free software (can't remember the site now, it was a Wiki though).

EDIT: Ah! Here we go... wasn't a Wiki after all, just the FSF page (and Nvidia isn't in there, at least I got the important part right):
