Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-09-06 18:09:03 UTC
So many choices.
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2016-09-06 18:31:43 UTC
The PPAPI plugin may end up replacing www-plugins/chrome-binary-plugins[flash].

If it is compatible, you could add an appropriate blocker, and install a config snippet in /etc/chromium (see src_install in chrome-binary-plugins-53*).

304 pages... What to do?

`pdftotext -nopgbrk -f 87 -l 95 Flash_Player_22_0.pdf` yields 415 lines for the English version.

Never mind. This is the same license as the old one. :)
Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-09-08 08:57:53 UTC
USE="npapi ppapi" doesn't apply yet.

Created attachment 445198 [details]
Extracted plain text of English version

Do we need anything other than the English version? See attached.

Alternatively, we could take the much shorter snippet from the README file, which should be equivalent to "all-rights-reserved":

The English version of the EULA didn't change. Please file a new bug report if anything is wrong with it, as it doesn't exclusively apply to this release.

No, nothing wrong at all. Apparently bugzie doesn't warn about new comments when submitting an attachment, otherwise I wouldn't have posted comment #6.
