Hi, I've installed flash-plugin-10.3.162.29-2.x86_64 on fedora14 from https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/leigh123linux but it's now outdated and no update seems to exist. The repo URL is http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/flashplayer.x86_64 I believe.
The Adobe page points to an i386 version, and no Adobe Labs version is currently available. How can I continue to use the 64-bit version on fedora as an RPM with the current version?
In other words, is there a new repo that can be accessed for the latest version of flash?
Thanks, Alex

The 64 bit version is available from Adobe Labs....just not in rpm format.

Adobe hasn't updated the 64 bit flash plugin in many months (6 to be specific).

FWIW -- still works fine in F15, but you still need Linus's patch to workaround the plugin's memcpy bug -- which should be fixed in the next release of the 64 bit plugin, whenever they decide to cut one.

There is but not in this url. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#Third_Party_Repository and the package seems to be recent ... Eric

No the native 64bits.

The quoting is somewhat screwed up somehow, but it seems these links above point to each other, but neither point to the 64bit "Square" binaries themselves.
The fedoraproject link discusses the leigh123 efforts that were done long ago, and no recent update RPM appears to exist.
The labs.adobe.com link points to the "Square" Preview Release, where it tells you to download it from the adobe download center. The download center page either lets you download the 10.2 release from last November, or sends you to the main download page, where it says you can download the "YUM" i386 release. It also has a link to the adobe labs page (which just points back to the adobe release page).
Can someone explain how to get the 10.3 64bit flash binaries installed properly? Has no one taken on maintaining them as an RPM?
Thanks, Alex

The Adobe Flash Square page has this link for 64 linux:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_64b...
You will notice that the date is 11/17/2010 on the tar file.
Adobe did release one further update in January of 2011, but they pulled it for some reason.

Leigh123 created a repository for an RPM that he created for the 64-bit flash:
su yum erase flash-plugin nspluginwrapper* rpm -Uvh http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/flashplayer.x86_64/flash-release... yum install flash-plugin
If you do this, you should be using the most recent 64-bit flash release from Adobe Labs. Yes, it appears to be somewhat old.

Actually, if you look at *this* page (from Adobe):
You should see the link to the file I mentioned above. The version is 10.3 preview release (the 3rd preview if I remember correctly). There appear to be no more recent versions available from Adobe.

Leigh123 has, the problem is that Adobe hasn't released a new 64-bit version in over 6 months....
Thanks, Alex

Okay, that explains it. This is the part that I missed. I thought Adobe was finally keeping up for some reason.
I bought some Adobe stock a few years ago, thinking they were a good company, and it hasn't moved much :-) Hope they get with it soon.
Thanks again, Alex

Doubt whether Adobe does a 64-bit upgrade will have much effect on its stock.
Yes, I should hope not. By "it" I mean their stock price and the company in general, of course :-)
