- Why an epoch is set ?
This is to upgrade the original package and avoid issues when using a mix of
Adobe repositories and on RHEL 6 the supplementary channel.
- Where is the mention that the produced package will either be i686
or x86_64
and not ppc/arm or else ?
- Also the adobe repository allow to install the i686 version along with the
x86_64. Is it still possible to do so with lfp? How ?
The bundled spec file (flash-plugin.spec.in) states the architectures on which
it is built. The lpf package needs an update to build both i686 and x86_64
packages at the same time but at its current stage it is able to build and
install the package on the base architecture of the system.
- Flash on linux, is unmaintained buggy ? Should we still advertise
that, even
by improving the packaging ? This will only hide misery.
It is horrible indeed, but at least it's much more stable now that Adobe has
stopped integrating new features. The only other option on Linux is the pepper
plugin on the proprietary build of Chrome; the open Chromium does not have it.
So this is the only chance unfortunately.
The i686 plugin is required as well by Steam to play videos in the various
screens.
- I'm keen to have any patch to review for nvidia packaged driver
- but that's
unrelated to this bugreport ;)
I will do eventually, but this is hard and time consuming as my driver is
almost totally different from the RPMFusion one. Time is limited and I have
other priorities and things to finish before submitting this one.
I think that finishing all the pending stuff in RPMFusion is a good start
before starting with the Nvidia driver(s).
