Typo : you may read 
This package needs to be tested on the opencpn version from core/release
(opencpn-5.8.4-2)

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

If you, Philippe, could give a pointer to testing it...
But thanks yet again for your sterling work on this application.
And yes, a bit late, it would have been better to bundles all these updates in one bug. But carry on as-is.

Assignee: bugsquad => qa-bugs

to test it you simply have to verify that the update is done without any problem

Once installed in the tools menu choose Charts
you will find a tab named o-charts
This allow to use paid charts from o-charts.org that must be used 
- with a decryption key created for your computer (it will not be valid for another computer or if you upgrade your system)
- or with an USB dongle which you can carry from a computer to an other

NB Some countries provide free charts regularly updated (USA with their NOAA)
you can download them easily and use them whatever program you use

But some countries don't provide free charts and you need to buy these charts from an allowed distributor... but each distributor create a particular encrypted format for its own navigation program, and it's not compatible with others !
and they are quite expensive !

o-charts.org negotiated with some countries to distribute regularly updated charts
with a smooth price fr OpenCPN users but they must be encrypted

PS 
The decryption binary is of course a nonfree binary

It's not possible to test fully this plugin without having an account to use paid charts from https://o-charts.org

I can say that the updated opencpn-o-charts-plugin  allows to use a previous decryption key created on your system for paid charts,  and of course allows to use the USB decryption dongle on an other computer

I can say that it's OK for MGA9 64bits  
(it can't be tested on MGA9 32bits because opencpn-o-charts-plugin can't be used on i586 : its developer doesn't provide anymore nonfree binary for i586 systems)

Is this one in the correct repository.  qarepo could not find it with nonfree enabled.

CC: (none) => tarazed25

Yes it is in nonfree/updates_testing for x86_64 aarch64 and armv7hl
(at least in 
https://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/media/nonfree/updates_testing/)

NB it doesn't exist for i586

Comment 0 says
opencpn-o-charts-plugin-2.0.1.9-1.mga9.nonfree

Using "*charts*" in qarepo found 
opencpn-o-charts-plugin-2.0.1.9-2.mga9.nonfree.x86_64.rpm

Looks like a typo somewhere. Removing the advisory flag, as I suspect it will need to be edited.

Hi 
I'm sorry again for this new typo

Thanks to you for having found it and corrected it

Mageia9, x86_64

The plugin installs without issues.
It is visible in the list of plugins under options but as indicated in comment 5 it is not possible to fully test this without a paid account.  The icon does not appear in the tools menu after being enabled.

Awaiting confirmation from Philippe that this is expected behaviour.

Hi Len

This plugin has no icon :
when installed it adds an "o-charts" tab in Charts settings window.
to access to it you successively click Tools -> options -> charts

This was in Comment 3

Thanks Philippe for the pointers.  The o-tab does appear in Charts settings and clicking it pops up the login window.  So, all good.

Validating.

Hmmm, didn't download this.

The following error occurred.
opencpn-o-charts-plugin-2.0.1.9-1.mga9.x86_64.rpm not found in the remote repository

I tagged xx86_64.rpm on the end just as for the others.  Is it there, is it called something else?  My first foray into qarepo has worked for the other plugins...

@Tony in comment 16:
It is in nonfree so check that box in qarepo and you can also set 'fuzzy' if you wish.

There was a typo earlier. It's actually 

opencpn-o-charts-plugin-2.0.1.9-2.mga9.nonfree.

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.
