[Bug 727018] New: make sure nspluginwrapper does not handle libflashplayer.so
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727018 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727018#c0 Summary: make sure nspluginwrapper does not handle libflashplayer.so Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: wolfgang@rosenauer.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 Since Flash is now available for x86-64 nspluginwrapper must not wrap libflashplayer.so anymore. nspluginwrapper still has Supplements flash-player which should be removed but still if it gets installed it wraps Flash (and all other plugins). Given that Firefox use a separate process for plugins (plugin-container) meanwhile there is no need to have yet another layer inbetween. So I would propose two options: - drop nspluginwrapper entirely - make sure nspluginwrapper only wraps plugins if architecture is really different between npviewer and plugin Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Regarding dropping:
Is anybody else besides flash-player on Firefox using nspluginwrapper? Especially konqueror or opera? Or other plugins?
If nspluginwrapper is installed basically every plugin is wrapped (AFAICS). So every browser is using the wrapper for every installed plugin which is why I wrote we should only wrap if architecture is different. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Advantage of nspluginwrapper in 32-bit installation: Crash of plugins does not cause browser crash of browsers that call plugins in-process. Is it still valid for Firefox?
Current Firefox nowadays wraps (almost) all plugins through plugin-container. So this usecase is gone.
On 64-bit systems nsplugiwrapper is still required for nppdf (Acrobat Reader plugin).
And other external available plugins. (In reply to comment #5)
Removal of -n (wrapping native plugins) should be done by removing of scriptlets part:
%ifarch %ix86 %{_bindir}/%{name} -a -i -n 2>&1 | grep -v "wrong ELF class" >&2 || : %else
and using variant without -n for all platforms.
Could anybody with i586 installation check what exactly does nspluginwrapper -a -i (Check date stamps of files in /usr/lib/browser-plugins will show, whether it not updates native wrappers or whether it deletes.)
I've tried with and without -n and couldn't find any difference. Either I did something wrong or it does not work as documented. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
