Adobe provides a .tar.gz file for flash. If possible, please remove the dependency on app-arch/rpm2targz. Reproducible: Always
Poke us once they've released a new version, we are not changing stable ebuilds.
I am reopening since a new version is now in portage and it is marked testing currently.
Sadly I don't think this can be done. Problem 1: The .tar.gz they release does not include a version number. Only the RPM actually includes the version number as part of the filename. For example, with this latest release the downloadable filenames are: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz - or - http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm And the name of the .tar.gz file hasn't changed for any of the previous releases that I can recall. Problem 2) Their license prohibits us from hosting a properly-named .tar.gz on our own mirrors. I would personally love to remove this dependency, but as long as Adobe continues to keep using an unversioned filename for the .tar.gz version and a non-mirroring clause in their license, there's nothing I can do about it.
