Description T.C. Hollingsworth 2013-08-23 04:19:12 UTC

This package contains binary files that are typically excuted by the Flash
player or another similar program.

These files are not permitted in Fedora. [1]  Everything we produce needs to
be built from source. [2]

The offending file(s) shipped in this package are:
/usr/lib64/evas/utils/evas_image_loader.dcr (shockwave director)
/usr/lib64/evas/utils/evas_image_loader.fla (flash source)
/usr/lib64/evas/utils/evas_image_loader.swf (flash player)

If these files are just a fallback for something that is now supported by modern
web standards like the HTML5 <video> element, please just remove the binaries.

If removing these files would seriously cripple your application, please let me
know so we can figure out a solution.

If you have any questions, please shout.  Thanks!

These aren't pre-built binary files anymore:
