Flash player with PKGNG

[aclis]

Hi

I'm new to PKGNG. How can I install Flash player with PKGNG? I can't find the package.

Thanks.

There is no package because the license doesn't allow redistribution.

RESTRICTED= Redistribution not allowed

To install from ports, see the Handbook, section 7.2.1.2.

But it is with an old database port. Is it possible to compile the port from source and use PKGNG at the same time?

The ports(7) system has not changed with PKGNG. When you compile a port now with PKGNG enabled everything is the same as with the old pkg_* utilities until the compiled port gets installed. The only difference during the installation is that the new PKGNG package utilities are used to register the compiled port as an installed package instead of the old package utilities.

Pretty much all dependencies of www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 appear to be run-time Linux dependencies. I suppose you could use PKGNG to install as many of those from binary packages as licensing allows and build the rest from ports, if that's what you mean.

If you do build something from ports make sure you have

WITH_PKGNG=YES

in your /etc/make.conf so the packages are registered properly.
