>Originator:     Izumi Tsutsui
>Release:        NetBSD 6.1.5
>Organization:
>Environment:
System: NetBSD 6.1.5 (GENERIC)
Architecture: i386 and x86_64
Machine: i386 and amd64
>Description:
Current status:

* Current www/nspluginwrapper is 1.2.2 for Linux 2.2.5 days
  and it often shows warnings like "WARNING: unhandled variable 18" etc.

* There is PR pkg/47208 for nspluginwrapper 1.4.4 update,
  but it requires a bit scary "libnoanonsocket.c" hack
  which overrides libc's bind(3) function by LD_PRELOAD.
** It does actually work on NetBSD/i386 6.1.5, but it still lacks
   64 bit amd64 support.

Background:

* As its homepage description, "nspluginwrapper allows browsers
  to run foreign plug-ins built for a different architecture."
  http://nspluginwrapper.org/

* nspluginwrapper provides both "plugin-side" binaries and
  "client-side" binaries.
** "npviewer.bin" binary in plugin architecture (i.e. Linux in most cases)
   and "npplayer" or "npwrapper.so" binaries in client (i.e. NetBSD etc.
   as pkgsrc hosts) are required.

* In Linux distributions, they provided nspluginwrapper packages
  just "to use 32 bit Linux plugin binaries on 64 bit Linux hosts"
** Then they only provided 32 bit Linux "npwrapper.so" and there is
   no 64 bit Linux "npwrapper.so" binaries
*** Nowadays at least Adobe provides 64 bit native Flash plugin binaries
    so probably that is the reason why nspluginwrapper development
    is no longer active since end of 2011.

* Furthermore, to use Linux plugin on non-Linux hosts,
  nspluginwrapper binaries for plugin side (i.e. Linux ones)
  should be built with "--enable-generic" to avoid Linux specific
  "anonymous socket" features (which probably NetBSD doesn't support)
  as mentioned above
** But all Linux distributions built nspluginwrapper binaries without
   the generic option after 1.3.x, because they don't have to consider
   non-Linux users at all

>How-To-Repeat:
Code inspection and trying current versions on actual machines etc.

>Fix:
To use nspluginwrapper 1.4.4 features on non-Linux hosts,
we have to build plugin-side binaries (at least nswrapper.so
for adobe-flash-plugin11) on Linux hosts with "--enable-generic"
option.

In that case we can also use 64 bit native adobe-flash-plugin binaries
on NetBSD/amd64 hosts.

I have built Linux nspluginwrapper-1.4.4 binaries on
openSUSE 12.1 hosts both i586 (32 bit) and x86_64 (64 bit)
and put binaries here:
http://teokurebsd.org/netbsd/packages/distfiles/nspluginwrapper/
 nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-suse121-generic.i386.tar.gz
 nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-suse121-generic.x86_64.tar.gz

These binaries are created as the following
* install openSUSE 12.1 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) on VirtualBox on Windows 7
 http://software.opensuse.org/121/
** (I chose Japanese and GNOME3 desktop, if it matters)
* update all installed binaries with option "update also -devel" by YaST2
* download and extract stock nspluginwrapper-1.4.4
 http://nspluginwrapper.org/download/nspluginwrapper-1.4.4.tar.gz
* apply the following build fix on Linux from upstream github
  (not actually necessary to build plugin-side binaries though) 
  https://github.com/davidben/nspluginwrapper/commit/6bd99e4da88ffce9c61962d74bd53644438de563
* configure with proper options
** For 32 bit:
  ./configure --enable-generic
** For 64 bit: 
  ./configure --target-cpu=x86_64 --disable-biarch --enable-generic --enable-viewer --enable-player
* make
* sudo make install
* cd /
* tar -zcvf ~/nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-suse121-generic.${MACHINE_ARCH}.tar.gz usr/lib/nspluginwrapper

The following pkgsrc/www/nspluginwrapper files:
 https://github.com/tsutsui/pkgsrc-wip-nspluginwrapper/archive/239958f0a05419b9c8c4e8db438fd5abf5eec067.zip
and pkgsrc/multimedia/adobe-flash-plugin11 patches:
 https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tsutsui/938f633dd49d33c4b7b8/raw/7434c0a33dbe084b35f7d9d2e90bd9d666e66eb1/adobe-flash-plugin11-11.2.202.442-64bit.diff
allow us to use nspluginwrap-1.4.4, even with 64 bit native plugin binary
on NetBSD/amd64 host.

Note I have no idea (and no interest) how these custom Linux
binaries are managed and updated in official pkgsrc framework.
I am not a pkgsrc developer and I just want updated working
binaries I use on my machines as ordinary desktop users.
I really don't like bikeshed discussion (which always ignores
actual users' experience) about bootstrap binaries in distfiles.

 We also need to provide 64 bit Linux libflashsupport.so binary
 to get sound on NetBSD/amd64 with 64 bit adobe-flash-plugin:
  https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tsutsui/3cba3ca7b769d6f37f9b/raw/a0d253c0a12b2058e5fd3037011bf3e6d4f2b466/pkgsrc-multimedia-libflashsupport-v4.2-build2011.diff

 These libflashsupport binaries are built on openSUSE 12.1:

 On 32 bit:
  cc -shared -O2 -Wall -Werror -lssl flashsupport.c -o libflashsupport.so
  (as mentioned in the source)

 On 64 bit:
  cc -shared -fPIC -O2 -Wall -Werror -lssl flashsupport.c -o libflashsupport.so

 The source file of flashsupport.c and version number is taken from
 Open Sounde System oss v4.2-2011 distribution:

 It looks nspluginwrapper 1.4.4 built with "BUILD_GENERIC" is unstable
 on recent firefox (after 34.0?), but now it turns out that disabling
 NPW_NPRUNTIME_CACHE on Linux binaries fixes the problem.

 I've put all necessary wip package files to use 64 bit Linux
 adobe-flash-plugin on NetBSD/amd64 into github:

 I took a look at updating the package but got bogged down, and I'm
 also suffering from a lack of time due to work projects and a small
 child :/

 Would you be willing to take over maintaining the package? - you have
 done a significant amount of work and at this point I would only act
 as a commit gate for all your effort :(

 There are several points which should be reviewed.

 (1) version number of libflashsupport
 (2) libflashsupport-pulse
 (3) "private" Linux binary

 (1) version number of libflashsupport
  - I don't know where current version "libflashsupport-1.1" comes from
  - In my patch libflashsupport-4.2.2011 is used as the sources is taken from
    http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/stable/gpl/oss-v4.2-build2011-src-gpl.tar.bz2

 (2) libflashsupport-pulse
  - No idea how it should be handled (or even is supported / is working)

 (3) "private" Linux binary
  - I would like to avoid discussion about responsibility of binary builds

 Anyway it's unlikely to get newer versions of libflashsupport and
 nspluginwrapper (as Linux Flash version stalls at ver.11 since 2011),
 so we don't need a particular MAINTAINER for these packages.

 Log Message:
 Update libflashsupport-4.2.2011.

 The binaries in distfiles in this packages seem built by pkgsrc developers,
 but I'm not sure which sources were used to build the previous version.

 In this "4.2.2011" version all binaries are built by me (tsutsui@) using
 libflashsupport.c in Open Sounde System oss v4.2-2011 distribution
  http://www.opensound.com/
  http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/stable/gpl/oss-v4.2-build2011-src-
 gpl.tar.bz2
 on openSUSE 12.1 on both 32 bit (i386) and 64 bit (x86_64) on VirtualBox.

 Notable visible changes from previous libflashsupport-1.1:
  - provide not only i386 version but also x86_64 native binary,
    which allows sound via oss with 64 bit native adobe-flash-plugin
    and nspluginwrapper binaries
  - resolve a sound noise problem on some flash videos
  http://sourceforge.net/p/opensound/git/ci/11ce031e405061de11fca4032caadfcfc8e27f6d/

 Also take maintainership.

 OK from abs@, and no particular objection to PR pkg/49705 and pkgsrc-users@.

 Log Message:
 Update nspluginwrapper-1.4.4.

 pkgsrc changes:
 - use private Linux npviewer.bin binaries built by me (tsutsui@) on
   openSUSE 12.1 on 32 bit (i386) and 64 bit (x86_64) on VirtualBox
 - enable EMUL_PLATFORMS=linux-x86_64 using the native 64 bit Linux
   npviewer.bin binary, which allows using 64 bit native adobe-flash-plugin
   on NetBSD/amd64 hosts
 - also explicitly set EMUL_REQD= suse>=12.1 (NetBSD 6.x can use it anyway)
 - tweak some pkgsrc ${PREFIX}
 - update HOMEPAGE
 - take maintainership

 Note:
 - major Linux distributions provided nspluginwrapper binaries to use
   the 32 bit plugin binaries without sources on their 64 bit systems,
   so there is no 64 bit wrapper binary (npviewer.bin) to use native 64 bit
   plugin binaries on other systems (like NetBSD) via binary emulation
 - nowadays adobe provides 64 bit native adobe-flash-plugin11 binaries
   and NPAPI plugins are being deprecated by vendors, so I guess there is
   very few motivation to update nspluginwrapper project for Linux people
    http://nspluginwrapper.org/why.html
 - Linux binaries in distfiles are built with following changes to
   make npviewer.bin works on non-Linux hosts:
  - configure with the following options, to enable "generic" RPC calls
    (The default Linux native binaries use their specific "anonymous socket")
   -  for i386:
      % ./configure --enable-generic
   - for x86_64:
      % ./configure --target-cpu=x86_64 --disable-biarch --enable-generic --enable-viewer --enable-player
  - disable USE_NPIDENTIFIER_CACHE in npviewer (as patch-src_npw-viewer.c),
    which doesn't seems tested with the "generic" RPC interfaces

 OK from abs@, and no particular objection to PR pkg/49705 and pkgsrc-users@.
 Also thanks to Onno van der Linden for his first analysis about
 newer nspluginwrapper APIs in PR pkg/47208.
