[wpkg-users] Flash 16 ActiveX Plugin

[Jáder Marasca]

About this very same package, I started to looking at it today (nothing to
do before Christmas...kkk)

I read the wiki about it: http://wpkg.org/Flash_Player#Adobe_Flash_Player_16
and could not understand why some options where made:

*1) why there are two extra variables:*
     <variable name="NPAPI_VERSION"                value="16.0.0.235" />
      <variable name="ACTIVEX_VERSION"          value="16.0.0.235">

if we could use just "PKG_VERSION" ? I could live with just one! ;)


*2) Why we need to rename downloaded files* if "PKG_SOURCE" already use a
different directory to hold all files of that version ?

*3) Wouldn´t be easier to just create FOUR variables *for each part of
PKG_VERSION and use them.
Something like:
VERSION_MAJOR = 16
VERSION_MINOR = 0
VERSION_FIX = 0
VERSION_UPDATE = 235

This way users never will mistype the underscore and point in all next
updates .



I´m sure there are a good explanation... so please let me know about it.
Otherwise, I´ll update the package for my own use and upload to wiki page.


Regards and Merry Christmas
