GPLFlash

Ever since I installed FC4 64-bit, plugins have been a constant pain is the a**. I remembered seeing a reference to GPLFlash some time back .. so I went and grabbed the source tarball .. unfortunately it requires too many *-devel packages and I can't afford the disk space. So, rpm.pbone.net to the rescue. I managed to find a x86_64 rpm for SuSE 9.3 - so I'm gonna give that a go. Seems like it needs libresmgr which is not in any of the FC repos I use. So, I also needed to borrow that from SuSE.

It's now that I fully appreciate the new localinstall option of yum. Point to to a local rpm and it sorts out dependencies from the actives repos .. just too cool..

Ok .. this isn't going anywhere .. the dependencies are too SuSE centric .. guess I'll just have to get the *-devel packages and make do with the source tarball..
