Flock should offer deb packages for Linux
Please Please Please create .deb packages for Linux and then offer them to official repos such as Ubuntu! You will make it easier for end user to install and thus increase your user base! Linux is increasing in popularity and most new users to not understand the concept of tar and .gz formats etc etc!

Inappropriate?Agreed! There are .deb packages already in Getdeb, but they don't have good support for things such as Flash.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Back in 2007 there was a blueprint request in Launchpad for Flock integration in Ubuntu see URL;
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubun...
There is also numerous requests in Launchpad https://launchpad.net/+search?field.t...
From what I've briefly read, it appears there is some licensing issues (not sure exactly what they are) regarding its integration.
Even if Flock .debs are not included in the default Main repository, hopefully it could be included in one of either of the Restricted, Universe or Multiverse repositories.
Maybe the Flock team could open up a dialogue with the Ubuntu team regarding this?
I’m thankful if this would be done
-
Inappropriate?If anything, it will definitely be under universe, but the licensing issues may cordone it off to multiverse.
I’m in agreement with naesk

Inappropriate?It worked for me but the flash player was not imported and it wants to install flash again so for it's F#@k flock
