My company has an internal web site that requites sliverlight in the browser. I have not used this site in a while. But I need to now. When it offered to install something for Linux, it sent me to http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/redirector.html?=4.0.50401.0, and that failed (URL was not in the server).
I looked around for openSUSE and saw references to pipelight. But I do not see any packages anymore (except in a user's project - and those are either broken or disabled). I see that there are mono packages. But it is unclear which packages are needed to get silverlight functionality. The mono site suggests installing mono-devel, but there is no such package in OBS.
Is there any support for silverlight on Linux anymore? Specifically Leap 42.3. And Mozilla (but that's flexible).
That internal site really needs to be updated. Silverlight is a deprecated plugin attack vector just like Flash. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/02/microsoft_silverlight/ Microsoft: Stop using Microsoft Silverlight. (Everyone else has) That was nearly 3 years ago, and also says: "Microsoft said it will continue to support Silverlight for out-of-browser applications for the dozen or so of you who are using it for that purpose, and Silverlight will still be supported in Internet Explorer 11 if you absolutely must use it on the web." Until that site can be updated, what you probably need is a VM running Windows and IE11 or an "out-of-browser application". -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
