[arch-dev-public] [isgnoff] flashplugin
As promissed, I replaced our flashplugin package by just a (hacky) script which downloads the plugin. For x86_64 it installs the beta plugin released today. Please tell me if its working so it can be moved to [extra]. Btw: It might look strange, but the package is licensed under GPL. It just contains a download script and not the player itself. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

Does the license has a clause that prevents the modification of the installer? If yes, it must go to AUR like acroread. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I know this isn't horribly helpful, but it wouldn't install with -U the first two times I tried. I rebooted and tried again and it worked. Something about libflashSOMETHING.so not being found, IIRC. Dale

I laughed. "There was a thing with some stuff and another thing that didn't work like the thing with stuff" 8) Judging from the script and your previous issue over jabber - I'm going to guess that the wget failed, so bsdtar barfed?

Yes! It was a bsdtar error. No idea why it worked the 3rd time though, but it's working fine now (youtube and speedtest.net tested). Dale

It appears to be the "-T 10" that's causing issues for me. A single failed DNS request is enough for a 10 second timeout to cause the installation to fail. I'd suggest increasing it to at least 30. Dale

OK, I increased it to 30 seconds (trunk only). What do you think of touching the plugin file in the build function: pro: pacman knows about this files con: if for any reason the install script fails you'll end up with a wasted plugin. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

Write a pre-update where it saves the current file, and deletes it in the post-update or rolls it back to the old one.
