There's no Npp- . It was just a little confusion.

Look at flashplugin-nonfree package. there are Npp- headers in debian/control. we need the same for swfdec, except that the values are properly adapted. The mime-types you can find when opening about:plugins

subscribed motu-release, initiating formal FFe process ...

0.7.4 brings important improvements and more flash files being played. Please grant a FFe for this latest swfdec release.

p.s. the delay was only due to my failure getting it reviewed earlier and since we are quite close to FFe (even before alpha-5), I dont see any risk taking this.

Setting to new otherwise nobody will look at it. Can you provide the required info (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess) or some background that could allow people to make an informed decision? Thanks.

i was just told that this is de-facto part of gnome and hence we dont need a FFe. Uploading.

I feel bad .... the plugin doesnt even live in this package so all this npp business needs to go to swfdec mozilla. we will sync swfdec0.7 from debian for now. Sorry again. If i ever meet you in real-life remind me to give you a beer or two.

Interesting. During Hardy we did FFe for it. It would be useful to have what
is 'gnome' documented somewhere as it's obviously less clear than I thought
it was.
