Right - you can supply packages for Ubuntu 9.04 if you like - (and we probably
should, for the current Ubuntu LTS release) - and the same for Fedora.
As I said, I think the *only* thing missing is motivated Fedora and Ubuntu
users with sufficient knowledge of SRPMs/debs/scripting - keeping in mind we
already have official packages for those distros, created by people 'outside'
FG, *and* various developers here have worked hard to ensure the code builds
cleanly - that was the reason for support a shared-library mode in SimGear.
And I will gladly assist/review *any* code change that helps / simplifies /
reduces patches to make the above work - I really do want to see it happen -
I'm just clueless about Linux packaging!
