Here is 1.6 updated for the 'npapi' change in the download URL.
The changes made are:
Update 12/29/16: Re-uploaded the package after download #97, to remove the unintended file, /etc/getflash.conf.old, which did no harm but was clutter.
The changes made are:

getflash-1.7
The getflash 1.6 versions are based on shinobar's version 1.5-6, which does not have the auto update feature introduced in 1.5-7. Version 1.5-8 contains small internal changes but is available only in woofCE, apparently never released as a .pet. Version 1.7 combines the 1.5-8 features with the change in the method of accessing Flash packages from Adobe provided by 1.6.1.
The new version of getflash looks about the same as 1.5-7 but omits the button that updates the configuration file from the internet. That source of the file has not kept up with the recent changes by Adobe and conflicts with the (Geoffrey's) new way of obtaining the Flash packages. The functionality is the same as in version 1.6.1 but restores the option to check for flash updates at boot-up time. (It has been submitted to woofCE.)
EDIT: Re-uploaded the package after download #3 to correct a bug in the updating of the user-installed-packages list.
The bug would lose the entry for any still-loaded flash packages, making them impossible to uninstall. However, uninstalling any flash package would actually uninstall the plugins of all installed flash packages. So, old flash packages should be uninstalled before adding a new one. Otherwise, just leave them in place, as the plugin got replaced with the new one, anyway.

Thanks, rerwin et al. Installed the 1.7 version on 64bit Slacko 6.3.0. It update to the flash 25.xx and replaced it smoothly. Works properly in FF for me.
Dell optiplex 780, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz, 4g RAM, w/ATI RV620 LE Radeon HD 3450. Currently running a full install of Slacko 6.3.0 ( 32 bit version).

Hi rerwin,
Adobe seem to have changed things again.

Re: getflash-1.7
Change " grep -A2 Linux " in /usr/sbin/getflash line 96 to " grep -A3 Linux " that should fix it for you.ETP wrote:Hi rerwin,

The previous result was from jplt_bis's one and the one you posted didn't work also, sadly.
