Lets review where things stand with the script:
Current commit on team clone:
download_and_compile.shAug 31 2013 #58ae270 Version
1.9.12 (Pat)

Contains a fix to a bug found and reported by Arnt.
Additional testing is needed before this can be merged to the main
fgmeta.
A detailed list of the changes in the script version
1.9.12 can be found here:

Francesco approved an early version of 1.9.12. There have been
additional small changes made.

For Arnt and others interested in where things are going, the following
summarizes a lot of stuff that's already been said here and elsewhere.
The current "official" script in fgmeta is 1.9.11
It builds 2.8.0 as stable and will build next. It would need small
modifications to build 1.9.10 or 1.9.12
Arnt has requested details on any new design for the directory
structure. I've given one below, but I'm open to suggestions if you'd
prefer something different.
Here are the design goals:
1. download_and_compile.sh continues to work exactly as it has in the
past. It will continue to use the same directory structure unless
the user decides to take an action that causes a new directory
structure to be adopted for subsequent builds.
2. Minimize the impact on git and svn servers by removing the need to
download multiple copies of sources and data.
3. Facilitate testing the script with different versions and options.
To meet these goals there are several features being added to the
script. Some of these are partially in place, some will require
additional changes.
Changes through script version 1.9.12:
=== === == === ===
1. Terminal Window Titles
2. Additional versions of OSG supported
3. Support for any branch, including the soon to be released flightgear
2.12.0. 2.10.0 is considered stable at this point in time.
4. Use manually placed fgdata copies in the parent of the build
directory.
Copies of fgdata git repositories can be placed in directories
named fgdata_2.8.0, fgdata_2.10.0, fgdata_2.12.0 and fgdata_2.99.9.
If download_and_compile.sh is run from a sub-directory of the
directory containing the fgdata* directories, instead of downloading
a separate copy of fgdata, the script will simply create s symbolic
link to the correct fgdata git copy.
Note that initially all the copies' versions do not have to match
the directory name. Any recent version of fgdata will do. When it
runs, the script will update the version you are building to be the
correct version of fgdata.
This approach to keeping multiple fgdata versions
means you never have to download fgdata more than once.
1. You can blow away a build and not have to redownload fgdata
2. You can have multiple variant builds of a single version all
using the same fgdata_*/fgdata version
3. You can build different versions of flightgear and still not
have to download another fgdata

Future Changes:
==
1. Change the directory structure for sources to allow a single copy of
the sources to be used for multiple versions and variants without
having to download the sources repeatedly.
Similarly to the placement of the fgdata_* copies, create new
directories for sources:
fgsrc
which will contain sources for anything native to
flightgear
othersrc
which will contain sources for plib and as many
versions of OSG as you need.
Builds will be done in a subdirectory, one per variant
It will look something like:
download_and_compile.sh
fgdata_2.10.0
fgdata
fgdata 2.12.0
fgdata
fgdata 2.99.9
fgdata
fgsrc
flightgear
simgear
openrti
fgcom (unless we abandon the separate fgcom)
fgrun
etc.
othersrc

OpenSceneGraph-3.1.9

Note that with 1.9.12 and later its possible to build the
master branch.
