Hi,
I was again wondering why most planes on the downloadpage have the same
version. Looking at the sourcecode of make-aircraft-html.pl it looks
like the version number is that date the "make-aircraft-html.pl" is run
(when no version is set in the aircraft config itself).
This seems wrong to me.
The version/date should be the last time any aircraft file was modified
(if no explicit version is set) and not when the webpage generation has
happened.
The current apporach changes aircraft versions even when nothing has
changed...
Aircraft authors can put a version field in the *-set.xml file and the
make-aircraft-pkg script will honor that. However, most authors haven't
done that. So instead, the script just tags the aircraft with the
current date as the version, so at least you know when the archive was
created.
Curt.
