This module installs Adobe Flash in the build.
There is no configuration, simply include this module in your configuration.


***** WARNING *****

Adobe Flash has a proprietary license which prevents redistribution.
It will be in violation of the license to distribute your resultant build
unless you have received special permission from Adobe.

You can request such permission on the Adobe website.



While Flash is available as a standard Fedora RPM distributed by Adobe, it
breaks the rules of packaging and conditionally installs files based on the
package set present on the system at time of installation -- it only installs
the plugin if the web browser is installed prior to the installation of Flash.

For this reason, if you simply add the Flash package as an extra package in
the build, it is possible (and likely?) to be installed before the browser,
meaning that Flash doesn't actually work in your resultant image, even
though the RPM was included.

The workaround is to use this module, which adds the Adobe repository to the
build and yum repository configuration, includes the package in the build,
and includes a small amount of hackery to make sure that the plugin
installation is performed after installation of all other packages.
