As usm does not provide the most recent package:
Code: Select all

The following items were found.
Choose an number to confirm.
ctrl+c to quit
1) flash-player-plugin-11.2.202.481-x86_64-1sl.txz
2) flash-plugin-11.2.202.569-x86_64-1gv.txz
3) flashplayer-plugin-11.2.202.569-x86_64-1alien.txz
#?
Is there a porteus solution? Is it different for google-chrome, firefox, etc.?
Thanks.

Flash in firefox never more, stopped in version 11
I prefer pepperflash + chromium.
chromium slackware package
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/chromium/
flash player (pepperflash) latest version
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbu ... sh-plugin/
Note:
Pepper Flash Player is maintained by Google, and is newer than Adobe Flash Player. Adobe currently still provides security fixes for Adobe Flash Player. Google provides newer features in Pepper Flash Player. Pepper Flash Player can currently only be used with Chromium (and with Chrome).

After update usm still cannot reach alien. Just download independently:

I am updating the alien repo manually now. Seems the taper address is rejecting my rsync requests.

A clever piece of code. Thank you for posting it. But the last line needs to be
-edit-
This additional code works for me.
Code: Select all
echo "Latest version = "$VERSION
LIVE=`grep "flashplayer" /var/log/porteus-livedbg|tail -n1|sed 's^//^/^g'`
LIVE=${LIVE:48}
echo "Using version = "$LIVE
