|<nowiki>Thomas Geymayer and I are working on it, I am not sure where’s he go to with the UI, the backend pieces are mostly there but will need some intensive testing. There is a #define flag you can toggle (in HTTPClient.cxx) to enable the code including the Nasal API; it will download / refresh a catalog, which is generated by the scripts I committed to fgmeta a week ago. Then you can access the package system from pkg.root in the Nasal console, using the API defined at the bottom of HTTPClient.cxx.</nowiki><br/><nowiki> | |||

If you are crazy enough to enable this code, and run it, be aware it downloads zips, unpacks them, makes calls to unlink files, renames directories, and so on. I would recommend some caution, and especially, don’t run it as root - while developing it I had it extract a few zips to ‘/‘ or worse due to screwed up path logic.</nowiki><br/><nowiki> | |||

Equally, I would welcome a code review of the code in simgear/package/Install.cxx to check any security issues or dangerous behaviour. The code /tries/ to be ‘safe’ - extract zip to a temporary folder, and uses rename/unlink to atomically update if the zip extraction succeeds. But it’s only had one pair of eyes on it so far. </nowiki> | |||
