@AWhetter I would be interested in being a co-maintainer. However, I would suggest that we move the development and issue reporting over to GitHub so that people can easily contribute in a better format than the AUR Web. Take a look at aurpublish. It is what I use to manage my own personal pkgbuilds and the rocm-arch pkgbuilds. We could create a github repo that contains the pkgbuilds for all flightgear and simgear related packages that you host. Another benefit of have a github repo for these pkgbuilds is that the community can fix the issues themselves and submit PRs that all you have to do is sync to the AUR via an aurpublish command. Do take a look at this suggestion.

Apologies for the slowness in updating. I'm actively looking for a co-maintainer for flightgear and flightgear-git so if you're interested then let me know.

@ kamelie1706 I already suggested that in the past, but seems nobody wants to be a mantainer of flightgear for community repository... I would do it if I could but my system is too old and slow to compile...

Flightgear has to be on community!

@ Potomac Thanks, I know how PKGBUILD works. However, 2019.1.1 version is NOT an official version too, it's a preview, as the official version still remains old release 2018.3.5 as you can see here: https://www.flightgear.org/ So, if a preview has already been published, why not update it? Come on, archlinux is an always updated rolling-release...

@papakilo and prescott :

2020.1.2 is not an official release, it's just a preview version,

you can update the PKGBUILD by changing these properties :

pkgver=2020.1.2

sha256sums=('SKIP')

you have also to update the PKGBUILD of simgear with the same way, and download flightgear-data

prescott commented on 2020-05-31 20:34 (UTC)

cant wait for update

papakilo commented on 2020-05-31 14:00 (UTC)

Hello, is there anyone over there? Version 2020.1.2 is out... Come on!

papakilo commented on 2020-05-22 14:57 (UTC)

Hi guys, when we will see the new version 2020.1.1?

I suggest submitters/maintainers/packagers to write a kind of PKGBUILD converter from already existant packages (https://repology.org/project/flightgear/versions) instead of a classic long-long-long time compilation PKGBUILD script. What do I mean? Have a look here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libreoffice-fresh-rpm/

Bye and have a nice day.

@Kerentin : you can download flightgear data 2019.1 from the official website : https://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear/files/release-2019.1/FlightGear-2019.1.1-data.tar.bz2/download

then unzip the file in your home, then launch fgfs with these parameters : fgfs --fg-root=<path to flightgear-data>/fgdata --fg-scenery=<path to flightgear-data>/scenery

fg-root and fg-scenery can also be set in your ~/.bashrc file, by adding these lines :

export FG_ROOT=<path to flightgear-data>/fgdata

export FG_SCENERY=<path to flightgear-data>/scenery

and then run flightgear with the launcher : fgfs --launcher

you can also install the flightgear-data package, but I didn't tested : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/flightgear-data/
