Description Otto Leipälä 2014-03-30 19:39:04 CEST
Can somebody build from openmandriva chromium pepper flash installer rpm ?.In next chromium stable 34 npapi plugin support is removed,adobe flash stops working and only working flash plugin is google pepper flash.

http://abf-downloads.rosalinux.ru/cooker/repository/SRPMS/non-free/release/chromium-pepper-flash-12.0.0.77-0.3.src.rpm

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Otto Leipälä 2014-04-09 22:58:23 CEST
It seems that openmandriva breake eula with that flash plugin with that rpm so it cannot be imported to mageia.
But this can https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash
it's flash player downloader like mageia flash plugin but it will install pepper flash to chromium browser.
Comment 2 Anssi Hannula 2014-04-10 22:03:36 CEST
Will take a look ak this. I think we'll probably go with simply a different renamed version of our current "flash-player-plugin" package.

Comment 3 Anssi Hannula 2014-04-10 22:29:09 CEST
Seems like this will only be needed for chromium 35 and later.
Comment 4 Otto Leipälä 2014-04-11 23:52:14 CEST
Ok thanks you are right they drop it from chromium 35,i think original plan was to drop it in 34.
Comment 5 Otto Leipälä 2014-06-30 19:27:36 CEST
What is state of this pepper flash ? chromium 35 is planned to build soon to mageia 3 and 4,it should be pushed at same time as chromium 35 otherwise there is broken flash support in chromium.

Comment 6 David Walser 2014-07-01 00:17:26 CEST
It's not as simple as just "packaging pepper-flash" because pepper-flash is not available as a standalone thing like NPAPI Flash is, so it can't really be packaged in any reasonable way.  See this thread on the mailing list:
https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2014-05/msg00019.html

I'm waiting for some sort of solution from Anssi before updating chromium-browser, but frankly I'm not sure we shouldn't just drop the package.
Comment 7 Otto Leipälä 2014-07-01 09:52:50 CEST
Yes it's not simple because it's bash script and need to download 50mb chrome to install flash from it.If you drop chromium how users should install it because there is no precompiled binary packages available from chromium ?.
Comment 8 David Walser 2014-07-01 16:59:30 CEST
Google has a urpmi repository for Chrome.  We could possibly add something that would make it easier to add this repository and install the Chrome package from it.  Anyway, this is all still in the idea phase right now.  I don't think anything has been implemented yet.

There is script what does everything needed to get pepper flash to working with chromium,only need to import it to mageia.

Comment 11 David Walser 2015-03-17 21:29:05 CET
That script still downloads all of Chromium.  I don't agree with packaging a solution that does that.  If that's the best that can be done, you should just install Chrome, since you're downloading it anyway.  Maybe there's something that we can do to help facilitate adding the Google repo, and I think that's the only kind of solution that would be of interest to us.  I'm going to mark this as WONTFIX (sorry), but if anyone comes up with something that can help facilitate adding the Chrome repo for our users, please feel free to submit it.

Currently, the PPAPI flash player plugin is available for downloading from Adobe servers. There is no need to install Chrome anymore.

https://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/flashplayer/pdc/23.0.0.162/flash_player_ppapi_linux.i386.tar.gz (for i386 arch)

Maybe this can be packaged the same way the flash-player-plugin rpm does.
