swfdec uses gstreamer which means it can be installed without plugins so it would work with say the WebM codec when its more widespread and hence not needing h264. lightspark currently uses ffmpeg directly rather than gstreamer so it unfortunately has to be in rpmfusion. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I use the ppa link because it is used for rc too I may add another if to use the "official" tarball

I wish, but the project is highly active and backporting patches isn't trivial, as they rely on previous ones most of the time. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Update to 0.4.2.1, Bugfix release

Upstream now installs liblightspark.so.0.4.2 to (fixed) /usr/lib/lightspark. Besides the fact that thus the current specfile doesn't build on x86_64, that's bad from a multilib point of view. Furthermore, the library isn't found at runtime.

To give some context, I'm coming from a University setting with 1000+ Fedora workstations and over 3000 users. Gnash is out of the question for us (stability and support costs) but we are finding lightspark promising. Flashblock etc. isn't really an option for us either as it asks things of the users. Easy enough for us to patch out the gnash requirement and put it in a local repo though.

Gnash is necessary for complete youtube support since lightspark doesn't support avm1 swfs.

I agree it shouldn't depend on it. I removed gnash long ago as its a CPU hog.

But we depends on other flash handlers to provide alternatives too, see : https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5339 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628804 I filed these bugs though the probability of getting it fixed is too small. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

MUST: please include a separate lightspark.desktop Source, instead of cat'ing inline in the .spec 2. MUST: remove alternatives baggage (discussed on irc), Provides: flash-plugin 3. MUST: remove Requires: gnash , and document it's optional use in %%description insead (discussed on irc). I think it checks for this ability at buildtime too, may want BuildRequires: gnash so that it's found explicitly (else, seems to default to looking for /usr/bin/gnash , which is ok too). your call. 4. SHOULD: consider using GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick (or your favorite tool) to convert svg icons into 1 or 2 common-sized png's as well. otherwise, Naming: ok License: (tentative) ok (I see a few mentions of mpl/gplv2/lgplv2 in some headers, will have to double-check) scriptlets: ok sources: ok md5sum *.gz 20a9eaf9259915d6aa7fc39048aece78 lightspark-0.4.4.1.tar.gz So far so good.
