Current version is opencpn-5.8.4-2.mga9, so I guess the above is a typo?

This is against stable Mageia 9 so unless this is a major bug fix or security fix then it would surely be against our updates policy to push an 'improvement'.

If this was not the case then I would also be pushing updates with 'improvements' and we would not have so many 'out-of-date' packages in Mageia 9.

Hi Barry
You are right
There's a typo in all this bug list (I used the same skeleton for all of them) :

I should have written 

This package needs to be tested on the opencpn version from core/release
(opencpn-5.8.4-2)

and not
This package needs to be tested on the opencpn version from core/updates !!!
(opencpn-5.8.4-2)


Besides this, about enhancement versus bugfix


Indeed there's a security fix for weatherfax since audiofile which is a BuildRequire has been updated for security vulnerability
besides this it's now built in different way upon opencpn-libs
and brings an improved list of meteo stations and internet meteo providers
This one is not proposed as an enhancement but as a normal bug correction.


All the other plugins are now built upon opencpn-libs 
(I already built them this way for Cauldron)
Some of these updates bring some improvements for navigation security 
(sar, watchdog, radar, ais-radar, climatology, weatherfax)  
I thought it was necessary to provide them as updates

If it's against Updates_policy  maybe should they be proposed as backports

This application really does need to work, so updates may not just be a luxury.
As for new versions of things, we nearly always react where possible to specific update requests.

If you, Philippe, could give a pointer to testing it...
But thanks yet again for your sterling work on this application.

Comment 4 Philippe Didier 2024-01-17 20:45:56 CET
to test it you simply have to verify that the update is done without any problem

First in the tool menu choose plugins
then choose logbook and click on its settings
then in the bottom of this window click on install Layouts
it will direct you to the place where to find the file Layouts.zip
choose it 
the Layouts will be installed to be used by you

Then click on the logbook icon inside the icons bar

You can then add some lines to your logbook
And choose a kind of layout to display, and display this as a libreoffice file or an html file

Advisory from comment 0 added to SVN. Please remove the "advisory" keyword if it needs to be changed. It also helps when obsolete advisories are tagged as "obsolete"

Mageia9, x86_64
Clean installation of the plugin.
Enabled logbook plugin via options and installed a layout without any idea what to expect.
Opened up the logbook and filled in a few details like fuel and water supply and a start position.
Displayed the equipment manifest in a browser, which at this stage was empty.
Backed out at that point but had the impression that the plugin was working.
Giving this an OK.
