Flash package is from 9.1 PowerPack. Works fine under Konqueror. Not
under Mozilla but it's because mozilla don't look for plugins in
/usr/liub/netscape and I don't want to fix this as this need to be fixed
by Mandrake
Honestly current mozilla (1.4-4mdk and ) has a %trigger script which looks
into /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/* and if it found FlashPlayer
there, then it links /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so to
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so (ditto for flashplayer.xpt files).
and what about RealPlayer ? Do we have the same thing ?
And furthermore newer FlashPlayer should directly place libflashplayer.so
to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, which is now the default plugin repository.
fine and is Adobe will follow your guideline ?
Adobe doesn't seem listening anyone suggestion/bug report coming from Unix
community... They still produce Acrobat Reader for Linux compiled
probably on RedHat 6.0 (and of course their nppdf.so [even 5.0.8] plugin
causes the old bug of 99% CPU eating with glibc 2.3.X, better to call acroread
from mozplugger.so in this case), and probably they remained a
bit outdate on the browser side... ;-)
1�/ I think that Adobe/Real rpm will consider that they will support
netscape and put their plugins in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins. What you
say is only usefull for mdk own package. But you need to follow a little
bit official package policies.
AFAIK official Adobe installer doesn't follow this policy to, as it
install nppdf.so to <INSTALLDIR>/Browsers/intellinux
2�/ you %trigger may be fine, but if I update flash/real to a new shiny
version via rpm and the name of the file change ? ...
Old triggers should remove the link to old file names and new triggers
should place those for newer names.
I think that this could lead to several potentials pb ...
I was referring to FlashPlayer, Acroread, Realplayer repackaged RPMs available in
club or packs.
The triggers Frederic placed in mozilla SPEC file are intended for those RPMs and
not public RPMs if they ever exists for some distribution.
Anyway in the thread the problem was another, i.e. why old 9.1 Flash
packages aren't working, as they should have...
Bye.
Giuseppe.
