flash patch

[Tim Wunder]

If I were to apply the flash patch(es)* to FC6's kdelibs and kdebase, do I
need to first apply the patch to kdelibs then build and install the new
kdelibs and then apply/build/install kdebase, or just apply/build each one
and then install them both?

*http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/devel/kdelibs3/kdelibs-3.5.8-new-flash.patch
*http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/devel/kdebase3/kdebase-3.5.8-flash.patch

Thanks,
Tim

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. I downloaded the .patch files and copied
them to the SOURCES directory. I then modified the kdelibs.spec file to
include a reference to the patch file as follows:
Patch47: kdelibs-3.5.8-new-flash.patch
and I added
%patch47 -p1 -b .new-flash
to the %prep section of the spec file. But when I try
rpmbuild -ba SPECS/kdelibs.spec
I get this:
Patch #47 (kdelibs-3.5.8-new-flash.patch):
+ patch -p1 -b --suffix .new-flash -s
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|--- kdeui/qxembed.cpp.sav 2007-10-05 15:24:40.000000000 +0200
|+++ kdeui/qxembed.cpp 2007-12-12 15:16:00.000000000 +0100
--------------------------
File to patch:


What did I do wrong?

The kdelibs patch needs -p0 not -p1

Thanks Rex. That seems to have worked. Unfortunately, the patches don't quite
work for me. nspluginviewer crashes still :(

I tried the patches in fc8 x86_64. They don't seem to work. Worse still, the
older flash plugin also doesn't seem to work with the patch.

Come to think of it. This is a real bummer. Scifi.com and cnn.com was hard
enough in konqueror. Now you can't do this again. Wow... its actually pretty
darn rotten how far behind Konqueror fallen compared to Firefox. I actually
prefer Konqueror. But more and more things seem to not work with Firefox.

Just one of these things that make you go hmmmm.

flash is i386 only. Are you using nspluinwrapper? If so, it needs
work/patching too outside of kde being patched too.

Yes, I am using nspluginwrapper. 0.9.91.5. It seems to work OK in Firefox. Any
idea when things will be working in Konqueror. I know... when everything get
put upstream.

I miss kde-redhat.org :(

See:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/360891

As an aside, it has been suggested that konq's nspluginviewer and
nslpluginwrapper merge efforts somehow, which would be nice/cool, but that
would require dev's from both putting in work to make that happen.

Hmmm. Tried the new nspluginwrapper. Do joy except that with patched kdelibs
and base nspluginviewer crashes.

It does seem to work relatively nicely in Firefox. But Konqueror becomes
unuseable because of the crashing.

Yeah great. Did you know the reason for the flash update was a _critical

Since I'm on FC6, I'm using nspluginviewer. Do you know if that needs to be
patched separately? I assumed the kdebase patch applied took care of
everything I needed since:

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/nspluginviewer
kdebase-3.5.8-1

Thanks,

I patched kdelibs, built it, installed it, then patched kdebase, built it and
installed it.
