Hello phpMyAdmin developers,

from what I get, the phpMyAdmin server status uses flashcanvas.swf for some time already. However, Fedora does not permit including any prebuilt Flash files (*.swf) as long as we can not build them on our own during packaging. I wonder if the shipping of Flash instead of HTML5 and magic Ajax stuff is really intended at all, so aren't there any good non-Flash solutions? Or is the Flash only meant to be a fallback solution for non HTML5 browsers?

Hi Robert, Having a look at the current 4.0.x version, flashcanvas.swf is used only when the browser is detected to be Internet Explorer < v9, which does not support HTML 5 Canvas.

Note that features other than the Status monitor are using canvas.

It's come to my attention that a number of packages contain Flash (.swf) files, but absolutely none of them have BuildRequires on a free software Flash toolchain, nor do any of them seem to be shipping the source for these files. :-(

It has never been permissible to included prebuilt files of this nature in Fedora [1], and FPC unequivocally stated during today's meeting that they have no interest in making an exception for this.

Please remove this prohibited content from your packages, or ensure that any included .swf files are built from source using a free software toolchain like `swfc` during the %build phase. A list of affected packages sorted by owner is included below, and I'll be filing bugs for these soon.
