[opensuse] flash-player-11.2.202.632 Security-Update available ...
Hello, [opensuse-de -> s. Mitte] ... Tuesday was Groundhog-Da^Flash-Update-Day again[99] ... the usual flash security update is out, get version 11.2.202.632! ... for oS 13.1/13.2 via the official update repos, you should have them active already ... for oS versions since 12.1 that are unsupported (12.x) or where flash is unsupported (Leap, TW), i.e. all but 13.x (but I build for those anyway), from my home repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dnh/. [I'll probably add Leap 42.2 soonish, Dave Plater is apparently already testing my build for Leap 42.2.] Oh, BTW: I recommend you add my repo only with a low priority, i.e. a high number (say 199), as other packages of my repo might mess up your system. Then, switch ONLY the "flash-player*" packages you want by manually selecting the "home:dnh" .632 version in the version-tab in Yast to my repo. You'll then get that packages and only those from "me", and also future updates thanks to "vendor pinning". Feel free to ask for more details about the repo-handling (esp. for this case of one-out-of-lots packages from some home:* repo ;) ==== -de Kurzversion ==== ... und "täglich" grüßt das Murmelt^Flash-Update ... Das übliche Flash-Sicherheitsupdate mal wieder. URL zu meinem Repo mit den Paketen für 12.1 bis Leap 42.1 siehe oben. Ich empfehle aus meinem Repo nur den flash-player zu installieren, viele der anderen Pakete sind eher experimentell. Fragen? Nur zu. ==== -dnh PS: YES! Flash has got to die. But there's still too much crap out there where you just _need_ flash and the alternatives (e.g. gnash) don't work. I recommend you get the prefbar FF/Seamonkey extension[1] with which it is one click in a checkbox for Flash to be (en-/dis-)abled and then keep Flash disabled unless you really need it. Or find some similar extension for Chrom* or whatever. Also, disabling JS (via NoScript etc.) is good too. [1] https://prefbar.mozdev.org https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/prefbar/ (and yeah, I've got a couple of custom checkboxes for notorious stuff, e.g. for the SSL/TLS "safe renegotiation" pref. Make about:config stuff available via a checkbox or whatnot ;) [99] I actually checked the flash-player version somewhen on tuesday, the update must have come out just then about. Jep, the tarball has the date "2016/07/12 15:08 UTC", and I went to bed just at about that time. -- printk("%s: TDR is ga-ga (status %04x)\n", ...); linux-2.6.6/drivers/net/eexpress.c -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hm. For 13.2 it seems to crop up. And https://software.opensuse.org/package/flash-player is not really helpful as to what might apply to 13.1. I actually have no idea if 13.1 is still supported in this case. It should be, as .626, which is there for 13.1, is the last update not a month ago, so you should wait a day or two. Anyway, depending on your paranoia etc., there's my package, and it is, once again, the same as the official package, just some older changelogs vary (e.g. when I was faster with an upate than the official package). What's the plans for 13.1 again? Going "Evergreen"? Anyway: Until further notice, I plan to provide a current flash-player package for any openSUSE since 12.1. And I hope I'll find someone taking over when I bail out, which is not planned anytime soonish. So, I reccomend you to a) wait a day or two (not really) b) at least temporarily switch to my package (and switch to the official once it's available, you'd have to check that "manually" though checking and switching versions in yast eplicitly (or zypper, but I find zypper tedious in this case)). Can you trust me? No. Or, rather, as much as you trust Adobe. And for the package? It's now unaltered from the official SUSE one. I do not link, but if you check out both from OBS and run a diff ... Currently, I do not even have to cater for "my" old oS versions without systemd, and those would be wrapped in some "%if .. %endif". So, to sum up again: "slow mirror syncing", just wait for official or grab what's there from me. And should be once I'm gone from SUSE. Any more questions? -dnh PS: I'm hereby officially looking for a replacement maintainer of this and a bunch of other packages (seperately) ;) -- Anyway, the only time I think "killall" is when dealing with lusers, not processes. -- in asr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
