Just reminded of this seeing a post on Laurie's old subforum.
I could host the libraries on my site, 'unofficially', anyway. I just need to figure out one thing -- the current Libraries version might not be what people want. These days it includes a few extra things, including SODE support and the bare bones of a custom autogen. There isn't really any NZ freeware which uses these new features, though, the first will probably be the Prepar3d v4 Hokitika which I've been meaning to release...
So it might be a better solution for someone else -- maybe NZFF? -- to host an earlier version which doesn't install the extra tools like SODE and the autogen merger tool. I don't want to host an older version myself, as it kind of complicates things. Currently the only 'active' development of the libraries is to support Godzone/Real NZ scenery, such as Nelson and Dunedin. There will be a minor update for NZCH as well.
So, would the current version be suitable for things like Laurie's scenery? Or are people happy to come to terms with the extra bits and pieces -- the installer is a wee bit more complex than it used to be.
