adobe-flash-player: remove. EOLed on 2020/12/31. Note 32.0.0.371 still works (no EOL date check), but no public binaries anyway.
multimedia: align variable assignments pkglint -Wall -F --only aligned --only indent -r No manual corrections.
Re-import multimedia/adobe-flash-player24 as multimedia/adobe-flash-player for future major version bump with compatibility. We had multiple adobe-flash-plugin versions in the past because newer 11.x versions didn't work on older (4.x) NetBSD systems. However I guess Adobe will not put aggressive changes that require newer Linux kernel version (i.e. emul.linux.kern.osrelease on NetBSD) in future periodical major updates, as per their announcements: https://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2016/08/beta-news-flash-player-npapi-for-linux.html > Because this change is primarily a security initiative, some features > (like GPU 3D acceleration and premium video DRM) will not be fully > implemented. No objection on pkgsrc-users@: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2017/03/14/msg024523.html Also ok'ed by gdt@ in private mail. --- NPAPI Adobe Flash player plugin for the Firefox browser. This package contains a plugin that enables web browsers to render the Flash format. The nspluginwrapper option (enabled by default on non Linux platforms) permits the use of the the Linux x86 and x86_64 flash player in Firefox browsers on other x86 systems and x86_64 systems. For NetBSD this package requires NetBSD 6.2 or 7.1 (and later versions) which include procfs fixes for Linux binaries.
