Unless, of course, you will volunteer to manage the enormous quantity or
up-coming bug-reports :)

Alas, modern WEB sites are often unbrowsable w/o flash plugin. And
combination (native Mozilla / Seamonkey) + linuxpluginwrapper +
linux-flashplugin-7 works for most of such sites I'm visiting (RELENG_6).
If you don't want to use it, just don't install it. Patch in question,

http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff

doesn't crash/hang anything, it just gives the possibility to use this
combination.

The patch has no impact on the base system, it only allows the flash
player to be used _from ports_, and the linuxplugin port already has a
big caveat for version 7 flash player.

A native FreeBSD flash player is not going to happen any time soon, and
people are already using flash version 8 (for which there's no way to be
used on FreeBSD).

That's why I also vote for the commit of this trivial patch.


Sincerely, Dmitry

Right, it works just fine. There always was a problem of Flash in FreeBSD and
now as far as I usew this patch - there isn't. So don't screw this up please.
