[Flightgear-devel] SimGear, FlightGear and FGDATA master branches

2011-08-21 Thread Torsten Dreyer
I just merged the release/2.4.0 branches up to tag version/2.4.0-final into the master branch of SimGear and FlightGear. The intention for the master branch of the two code repositories is to always hold the current version. For consistency, I'd like to have the same strategy on fgdata sometime

Thanks Jon! I've added this info to the flightgear.org web site. If anyone else is working on packages for other linux distributions (or knows of updates for other distributions) please post here or let me know directly. I've seen several questions on our facebook page about ubuntu packages,

With ARM devices reaching over 512 MB of RAM(including end user devices) and microSDs with over 16 GB of space available, I wouldn't say those are the limiting factors... I do doubt the ability of the GPUs in SoCs being able to run FG. Theoretically it's possible(OSG supports OpenGL ES), but in
