Our Russian colleague, SFS, has been working on the PepperFlash auto-update script, which he first presented in Geoffrey's Flash AutoUpdater thread a few months ago. I've given this new version a try-out, and it works brilliantly. Similar to Geoffrey's version for the NPAPI FlashPlayer, this will download the appropriate Pepper for your architecture.....if it needs updating, of course.
All the user needs to do is to modify the 'path' near the beginning of the script (variables 'pf' and 'pv', lines 4 & 5) to point the script to the correct location for his/her browser(s). If, like me, you run more than one Chromium-based browser, then modify as many copies as needed, so that you have one for each browser!
You can find SFS's script here:-

Once you've downloaded this, make it executable. (I do this by right-clicking, then 'Properties'; click the top check-box in the Exec column, followed by 'Refresh', and 'OK'.)
This doesn't possess the wonderful GUI of Geoffrey's version; if you want to see what's going on, run it from the terminal. If, however, you want to automate it all the way, then after modifying the 'path', and making it executable, place it in /root/Startup.
If I ever get around to pulling my finger out (!!), I'm going to take a closer, in-depth look at the two versions, and see if I can figure out how to combine the pair of 'em into a PepperFlash version of Geoff's existing Auto-Updater.
For now, however, SFS is 'the man'. Good on you, my son..! Excellent work. And thank you.
Mike.
