I have bandwith and disk space and vacant cpus, but no time. ..basically, something like "for FG in FlightGear SimGear plib ; ;for V in 0.9.5 0.9.4 # etc for SimGear plib too ;do wget -c $FG.org/downloads/FG-$V.tar.bz2 ;tar jxvf $FG$V.tar.bz2 ;done # etc ;done diff -ruN $FG$V $FG$($V-1) >diff-from-$FG$($V-1)-to-$FG$V md5sum diff-from-$FG$($V-1)-to-$FG$V bzip2 diff-from-$FG$($V-1)-to-$FG$V md5sum diff-from-$FG$($V-1)-to-$FG$V.bz2 # etc". ..the md5sums are neat to verify that we wind up with the same source tarballs, without having to build them. ..expanding on this idea, it is possible to have newbies use "this upgrade script" to update their old FG to the current, first chking for their old FG, then fetch Boris' tardiffs and patch up their FG install to the latest official FG, SimGear and plib. ..at some stage, the official tarballs (or a cvs co to the latest cvs release tag) becomes more comvenient, so don't over-engineer it. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
