Parcel

Parcel is a Python script designed to simplify the distribution of add-on aircraft for X-Plane via the SkunkCrafts Updater.

Warning

This project is provided as-is and may break at any time. This project was developed without input from the original developers of the SkunkCrafts Updater, and this project should not be confused for anything officially endorsed.

Usage

To use, run the following:

python parcel.py [input folder]

Where:

• input folder is a copy of the aircraft root folder (the folder with the .acf file)

Important things to note:

• The input folder must be a copy! Parcel will delete any file that is included in .parcelignore OR any file that starts with a period.
• The output archive does not include the skunkcrafts_updater_* files. Those files are copied into the input folder after the creation of the output file. You should have new users download the output file on first install, and upload the input folder to your server.
