fedora_requires_release_note requested: [Bug 281061] gnash fails when wrapped, works when native

by Red Hat Bugzilla

Bug 281061: gnash fails when wrapped, works when native Product: Fedora Version: devel Component: gnash Max Kanat-Alexander <mkanat(a)bugzilla.org> has asked for fedora_requires_release_note: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281061 ------- Additional Comments from Max Kanat-Alexander <mkanat(a)bugzilla.org> With rawhide as of today, gnash doesn't even show up in about:plugins unless I entirely remove nspluginwrapper. This should probably either be resolved or something should be noted in the relnotes, since they currently mention gnash.
