I will join in with "Adobe flash reader", it is possible ?
Many thanks,
You are welcome!. It should be possible as long as the license allows
us
to freely download and build a package i. e., there must be no
limitations on the downloader. The target package can have
limitations, I presume it's "non-redistributable, no modications permitted'.
Look at the two tickets for examples, there is also a commented template
in the lpf upstream at github which is reasonably up to date.
Preferably, use the lpf version in updates-testing while testing,
current lpf in main repo has some annoying glitches. Assume you will
find bugs...
If you submit a review request I can review it.
