This is a simple Python 3 script to ease rebuilding of FGData embedded
resources for FlightGear. It uses fgrcc in conjunction with
<FlightGear-repo>/src/EmbeddedResources/FGData-resources.xml and the
FGData files mentioned therein to (re)create the FGData-resources.[ch]xx
files used in the FlightGear build. The existing files in the FlightGear
repository are always overwritten (namely, FGData-resources.[ch]xx in
<FlightGear-repo>/src/EmbeddedResources).
There are command-line options (--flightgear, --fgdata and --fgrcc) to
indicate where the FlightGear and FGData repositories, as well as the
fgrcc executable can be found. However, it is most convenient to put
these paths once for all in the config file
$HOME/.fgmeta/rebuild-fgdata-embedded-resources.json (use
'rebuild-fgdata-embedded-resources --help' to see an example). This way,
you can invoke the script without any argument whenever you want to
update <FlightGear-repo>/src/EmbeddedResources/FGData-resources.[ch]xx.
This script doesn't depend on any module out of the Python standard
library (intentionally, in case distributors want to use it to recreate
themselves the FGData-resources.[ch]xx files). It should work on Python
3.5 and later versions.
Add the following files:
python3-flightgear/README-l10n.txt
python3-flightgear/fg-convert-translation-files
python3-flightgear/fg-new-translations
python3-flightgear/fg-update-translation-files
python3-flightgear/flightgear/__init__.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/__init__.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/exceptions.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/i18n.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/logging.py
python3-flightgear/flightgear/meta/misc.py
They should work on Python 3.4 and later (tested with 3.5.3). The folder
structure is chosen so that other FG support modules can insert
themselves here, and possibly be used together. I put all of these
inside 'flightgear.meta', because I don't expect them to be needed at FG
runtime (neither now nor in the future), probably not even by the CMake
build system.
To declare that a string has plural forms, simply set the attribute
'with-plural' to 'true' on the corresponding element of the default
translation (and as in Qt, use %n as a placeholder for the number that
determines which singular or plural form to use).
Assume the builds are against a version of OSG with the <fstream>
declspec(export) fix applied, and hence we can use normal linking,
not the /FORCE:MULTIPLE thing which slows down and complains.
By setting the 'ident' attribute for /download_and_compile.sh, this
replacement will be automatic whenever the file is checked out.
Note: the ID is the 40-character hexadecimal blob object name in Git, it
is *not* the commit ID. 'git show <id>' can be used to obtain the
script contents from its blob object name (id).
This will avoid spoiling every diff with the version number change, or
alternatively having different versions of the same file displaying and
logging the same version number.
If download_and_compile.sh is moved to a different directory in FGMeta
(or even renamed), then the path in .gitattributes must be adapted for
the substitution to work (the '/' in .gitattributes anchors the match at
the containing directory; I did this because download_and_compile.sh is
a rather generic name, and there *might* be different scripts with the
same name in other dirs...).
- Add function _package_alternative() to select between alternative
packages (idea of Pat Callahan).
- Split the 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install' steps to arrange for
installation of the 'dctrl-tools' prerequisite of
_package_alternative().
- Add and use functions _aptUpdate() and _aptInstall() for good
factoring (makes testing easier for people not using sudo, allows one
to easily switch from 'apt-get' to 'apt' or 'aptitude' if wanted,
etc.).
Support multiple primary aircraft in a package, which has several
aircraft developers have requested. This adjusts the handling of
the variant-of and primary-set tags.
Additionally, this adds partial unit-test coverage for -set.xml
scanning and catalog XML generation.
Run ./test_catalog to run unit-tests of the catalog generation.
Note on eras: I've added every decade since flight started for
consistency and completeness. For example, the Bell X-1 is from
the 1940s but is post-WW2.
- extract per-variant thumbnails from -set.xml files
- handle multiple primary aircraft in a directory (this will
need client-side changes too, eventually)
Cmake now has a standard variable to indicate the build type we are
creating. Map the existing settings on each platform to that value
(with varying degrees of nice-ness, further clean-up possible)
We can build a 64-bit FGPanel now, since the issue was GLUT and freeGlut
supports a 64-bit version.
Note the shortcut icon is not disabled automatically, that needs an
additional fix.
