I meant more along the lines of using PPAPI, I want to use pepper flash, ideally but not neccessarily through chromium.

I remember I had a solution for this once after support for ppapi was cut from chromium but my idiot ass doesn't remember how I did it.

@rabcor Yes, if you use a browser that supports NPAPI plugins (such as Waterfox), and add the site you want to use in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg like so:

SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
AutoUpdateDisable=1
EOLUninstallDisable=1
EnableAllowList=1
AllowListUrlPattern=file:///
AllowListUrlPattern=*://example.com/
AllowListUrlPattern=*://*.4chan.org/
AllowListUrlPattern=*://*.4cdn.org/
AllowListUrlPattern=*://*.github.io/

Can this still be used?

Build errors out stating that the files did not pass the validity check.

@huupoke12 @kaizo

Using a web archiver is a good idea, I hadn't considered that. I've updated the PKGBUILD to use the links you've provided.

Instead of abandoning this package completely, would you consider replacing the download links from the Wayback Machine?

They function as drop-in replacements, the hashes match those already in the package(s) as one would expect.

If not, would you considering at passing the roll of maintainer on to someone else or orphaning the package entirely?

The link is dead. I suggest trying archive.org instead. You can use Firefox ESR to use it.

The official upstream sources have been removed. Initially, Adobe had removed just the links on their main site without removing the actual files. I guess they changed their minds. I managed to backup most of the Adobe Flash 32.0.0.465 versions (I missed the Windows .exe installers) before they nuked them. Here they are (.tar.gz): http://0x0.st/-Kgg.gz

I won't be updating the PKGBUILD to use this link, because I've always been suspicious of build scripts that use unofficial sources. You'll have to manually place the relevant files in the same directory as the PKGBUILD.

Also, keep in mind that the last version of Firefox which is compatible with flashplayer is 84.0.2.

Also when I update checksums I get this error when building:

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
