... and it looks superb! Can't wait to take off with it. And I also find
it an excellent idea to provide the xcf's. This should make repainting a
lot easier.
But: shouldn't these Gimp files go to a separate module, something like
"artwork-devel"? I mean, 5 MB are a lot to download, if you don't plan
to repaint your planes, or maybe even don't know what strange format
xfc is. Shouldn't the base package contain runtime stuff only, and no
graphics development sources?
$ find -name "*.xcf" -printf "%f\t%s\n"|awk '//{print;x=x+$2}END{print x}'
p51d-jw-02.xcf 1079541
p51d-jw-03.xcf 1070051
p51d-jw-05.xcf 2624465 [sheesh!]
p51d-jw-man.xcf 78154
4852211
Or should we finally really move to a system (as was already discussed
here), where addons are offered separately. There could be an "addons"
cvs module, with a "p51d" subdirectory, a "t38" subdirectory, etc.
One could then still download all the planes conveniently via cvs, and
distribute a huge addons.tar.gz, and additionally some smaller packages:
p51d.tar.gz, t38.tar.gz ...
m.
PS: As soon as I am not condemned to use a 56k modem any more, I will,
of course, change my mind and welcome the inclusion of xfc's in
the base package. I will deny then that I ever complained.
PPS: and, of course, with "we" I mean "somebody else". ;-)
