getFlash11.scm Bug

[Jason W]

Added the creation of a dep file, copied to tcedir/optional on every run, as that's the only way to reflect an updated flash11.scm.dep file.  Also, renamed flash.scm to flash11.scm to be consistent.

If flash11.scm already is in your tcedir/optional directory, the new flash11.scm will get copied to tcedir/optional/upgrade so it will be upgraded on next boot.  Otherwise, it gets automatically moved to your tcedir/optional.

Added the creation of a dep file...

Reporting disappointing news.

TEST1
Removed the previous version of getFlash11.scm.
Install newest version of getFlash11.scm
Built flash11.scm (no version specified i.e. mimic previous successful build)

Code: [Select]

ls -1 /usr/local/tce.installed

OSS
OSS-modules-3.0.21-tinycore
Xlibs
Xorg-7.6-lib
Xprogs
Xvesa
expat2
fltk-1.10
fontconfig
jwm
kmaps
libfltk-xft

Code: [Select]

ls -1 /apps

bin/
etc
flash11/
gtk2/
opera-11/
share
Start opera and youtube address shown in reply #6
Result: Content fails to display showing the same error message shown in reply #6 screenshots (i.e. when gtk2 was not being loaded).


TEST2
Uninstalled flash11.scm
Installed previously working flash.scm

Start opera and youtube address shown in post #6
Result: Content displays as expected.


TEST3 and TEST4
Repeated TEST1 and TEST2 using firefox.scm in place of opera-11.scm

Results:

• Fail using flash11.scm (wants to install additional plugin)
• Success using flash.scm

Edit:
Tentative conclusion, the gtk2 dep is working, the issue is with flash11.scm

in getflash11.sh code need to change flash to flash11

echo "[ -f /usr/lib/libflashsupport.so ] || ln -s /apps/flash11/share/libflashsupport.so /usr/lib/libflashsupport.so" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "[ -d /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins ] || mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "ln -s  /apps/flash11/share/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins/" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "## Support mozillas that do not have /usr/local/lib/mozilla plugins specified as a plugin dir." >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "[ -d /usr/lib/mozilla ] || mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "[ -e /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ] || ln -s /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "##" >> "$PKG"/config/install

p.s.1
may be better if change this line

Code: [Select]

cp -a /apps/getFlash11/share/files/flash11.scm.dep "$TCEDIR"/optional/ > /dev/null 2>&1to the following

Code: [Select]

echo "gtk2.scm" > flash11.scm.depand remove /apps/getFlash11/share/files/flash11.scm.dep from getFlash11.scm


p.s.2
and can be added to the end of getflash11.sh

Code: [Select]

grep -q flash11 "$TCEDIR"/scmboot.lst || echo "flash11" >> "$TCEDIR"/scmboot.lst

p.s.3
it would be nice also remove unwanted warnings
about not permitted operations for fat filesystems

if [ ! -f "$TCEDIR"/optional/flash11.scm ]; then
  mv "$TMPDIR"/flash11.scm* "$TCEDIR"/optional/ > /dev/null 2>&1
else
    if [ ! -d "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade ]; then
    mkdir -p "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade
    fi
  mv "$TMPDIR"/flash11.scm* "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade/ > /dev/null 2>&1
fi

p.s.4
three points of getflash11.sh has call the function exit_red when errors but this function is missing

[Jason W]

Ok, I will address this today.

[AbNoRMiS]

another two thoughts come to mind

first
what if instead of simply putting flash11.scm
into /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional or /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/upgrade

Code: [Select]

if [ ! -f "$TCEDIR"/optional/flash11.scm ]; then
  mv "$TMPDIR"/flash11.scm* "$TCEDIR"/optional/
else
    if [ ! -d "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade ]; then
    mkdir -p "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade
    fi
  mv "$TMPDIR"/flash11.scm* "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade/
fiimmediately load it for example as here

Code: [Select]

echo "${BLUE}Installing scm extension to "$TCEDIR"...${NORMAL}"
grep -q flash11 "$TCEDIR"/scmboot.lst || echo "flash11" >> "$TCEDIR"/scmboot.lst
if [ -d /apps/flash11 ]; then
    if scm-load -r flash11.scm; then
mv "$TMPDIR"/flash11.scm* "$TCEDIR"/optional >/dev/null 2>&1
echo -n "${GREEN}" && scm-load -i flash11.scm && echo -n "${NORMAL}"
    else
[ -d "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade ] || mkdir -p "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade
mv -f "$TMPDIR"/flash11.scm* "$TCEDIR"/optional/upgrade >/dev/null 2>&1
echo "${GREEN}Extension ${YELLOW}flash11.scm${GREEN} will be installed after reboot${NORMAL}"
    fi
else
    mv "$TMPDIR"/flash11.scm* "$TCEDIR"/optional >/dev/null 2>&1
    echo -n "${GREEN}" && scm-load -i flash11.scm && echo -n "${NORMAL}"
fi
and second
assume that flash11.scm was created
with the dep-file which contains gtk2.scm
but if before this time gtk2.scm or gtk2.tcz
not been downloaded into /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional
then flash11.scm could not be loaded
to avoid this
gtk2.scm should be downloaded by getflash11.sh
or included to getFlash11.scm.dep

[Jason W]

Ok, to sum up the changes I will make:

1. Make gtk2.scm a dep of getFlash11.scm since it is needed by the end product, and use a flash11.scm.dep that includes gtk2.scm so gtk2.scm will be loaded any time flash11 is loaded.

2.  echo "gtk2.scm" > flash11.scm.dep, a little time away and I forget some of the basics.

3. I don't want to immediately load the updated flash and move files around, as it surpasses the level of complexity I want, and also flash may be running, which would have to be considered.

4. I will add the "> /dev/null 2>&1" to quiet unnecessarily echoed errors.

5. I will add in the exit_red function.

[Jason W]

Uploaded, thanks for the feedback.

[SamK]

Uploaded, thanks for the feedback.

Removed getFlash11 and flash-11
Installed newest version getFlash11
Built flash11

Unfortunately cannot get the flash content to display in either Firefox or Opera-11.

[AbNoRMiS]

oops...
should be added the libraries path /apps/flash11/lib
to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH in all browsers
because otherwise the libraries can not be found

Code: [Select]

$ ldd /apps/flash11/share/libflashplayer.so | grep found
libssl3.so => not found
libsmime3.so => not found
libnss3.so => not found
libnssutil3.so => not found
libplds4.so => not found
libplc4.so => not found
libnspr4.so => not found
or abandon the idea of renaming flash to flash11

Code: [Select]

sed -i "s/flash11/flash/g" getflash11.shbecause otherwise it will need to add library path related to each flash version
for example for flash12 when it will be realized

or need to make dummy lib link

echo "[ ! -d /apps/flash ] && mkdir -p /apps/flash && ln -s /apps/flash11/lib /apps/flash" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "[ -f /usr/lib/libflashsupport.so ] || ln -s /apps/flash11/share/libflashsupport.so /usr/lib/libflashsupport.so" >> "$PKG"/config/install
 echo "[ -d /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins ] || mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "ln -s  /apps/flash11/share/libflashplayer.so /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins/" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "## Support mozillas that do not have /usr/local/lib/mozilla plugins specified as a plugin dir." >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "[ -d /usr/lib/mozilla ] || mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "[ -e /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ] || ln -s /usr/local/lib/mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" >> "$PKG"/config/install
echo "##" >> "$PKG"/config/install

that looks not very "aesthetically" in terms of self-contained modules

and it would be right if add to the end of getflash11.sh the next rows

Code: [Select]

read -sp "${WHITE}Press any key to exit...${NORMAL}" -n1 -t15
echoto enable the user could see the latest shown report about installing or upgrading flash

p.s.
forgot to remove folder /apps/getFlash11/share/files with flash11.scm.dep from getFlash11.scm
and fix getFlash11.sh to lower case getflash11.sh in the getFlash11.scm.info

[Jason W]

Ok, renaming back to flash from flash11 to keep library paths sane in browsers.  The latest flash is assumed, regardless of version 11, 12, etc, if folks want other flash than current major version they can get it from adobe.

Will remove the unneeded dep file inside the extension and fix typos in the info file.

[SamK]

Ok, renaming back...

Reporting success.  Tested and found working in Firefox and Opera-11 SCMs.  Thanks.

[AbNoRMiS]

finally by common efforts we did it
tonight i'll also try it when i'll come home

[Jason W]

Thanks again for the testing and solutions.
