As you probably saw, there's been some flux in this area indeed, I /think/ things \
should have settled down now. The package system is looking much better, I can \
update, install, cancel from the default catalog and hopefully other people can too! \
Feedback on any problems is now appreciated. There's still areas to be worked on:
- handling variants within packages
- uninstalling individual packages (if you remove the catalog they are all cleaned \
up)
- some rendering bugs in the aircraft list (e.g. the huge thumbnail on the Extra500 \
breaks everything!)
As ever, help is appreciated with the following:
- improve tagging, ratings and variant-of metadata for aircraft in FGAddon
- adding ‘long description' strings for each aircraft, to give a little bit of \
history + purpose for the aircraft. Often the first three sentences from the \
aircraft's Wikipedia page are a good start.
And now the ‘maintain_catalog.py' script in fgmeta is getting more mature, I would \
again love to test it with other aircraft repositories besides FGaddon. It should \
‘just work' but of course reality will disagree! If you maintain a hangar of even \
one aircraft, which you'd like to expose via the package system, please let me know.
Kind regards,
James
