Re: [Flightgear-devel] Release 2.8.0 - closing release/2.8.0 branch
Do we have a volunteer (Thorsten?) to tag the branches as 2.8.0 to mark the official close of changes for 2.8.0(.0)? You might want to wait until you cut the release before laying down the tag... for 2.4.0 and 2.6.0, we set the tag version/2.x.0-final. I'll set the tag version/2.8.0-final on Thursday morning. Done. This marks our final state of the code for the 2.8.0 release. Please start building our distributables from this tag on the release/2.8.0 branch. Anything pushed to fg/sg/fgdata into the release/2.8.0 branch from how on will eventually go into a 2.8.0.x bugfix release.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Dan Freeman and ProFlightSimulator
Hi, Yves wrote: Shouldn’t some online flightsim magazines where someone has good contacts be asked to publish exactly this story now ? I couldn’t believe it, and maybe posting warnings on FlightGear pages is not enough. All major flight sim websites have published warnings on their pages and/or forums. Just search on Avsim.com or FlightSim.com for ProFlightSimulator (or whatever name they've come up with) and you'll find a bunch of results. 52 hits on Avsim and 22 topics on FlightSim.com alone. You can find even more when searching for all the names that we've collected so far: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Category:FlightGear_vendors I think the flight sim world as a whole is about as good informed as we possibly can... One of the more recent additions to the (growing) PFS family, VirtualPilot 3D was used by most websites to act as a reminder that a couple of such products are actively advertised. I would like to advise anyone interested in ordering a new flight simulator to consult the major websites before spending such large amounts of money. Sadly people new to flightsimming are most likely not aware of those websites when they encounter PFS. I have no idea how we can reach those... Ivan, maybe you can tell us at what place(s) you'd have expected to see a warning? What websites did you consult before buying this product? Anything we missed?

[Flightgear-devel] Bugs and tweaks for Compiling on CentOS 6.3
I am currently tweaking the download_and_compile.sh* to work on CentOS 6.3. So far, it seems to be working with the below changes, but I'm only up to the prt where it's building OSG so I'll send another email later with the final result. ( I got the script from here: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Scripted_Compilation_on_Linux_Debian/Ubuntu#Download , which points to here: http://www.gitorious.org/fg/fgmeta/blobs/raw/master/download_and_compile.sh) The key changes are: * defining this line near the start: # on CentOS, installing the -devel version also installs the primary package too!
