Hi Jasem,
As you know I use INDI extensively every clear night.
As long as the separate install works ok and we do not lose any
functionality, should be fine by me.
However, would it still integrate with kstars, i.e. will I still be able
to right click on a star and tell the scope to slew to it?

I was bit concerned when I found out that all the hardware drivers were
being removed. Has the doco been changed to describe how to install
required drivers?

I am currently running my observatory on suse 10.3 on a 64bit machine.
I have also installed a SUSE 11.0, which uses kde4  in part.
What level of kde4 will I need to test the new indi?
Can I download it vis svn?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

packagers ship KStars, they compile it with the INDI package, and I'll try
to make sure this happens on Linux. Regarding drivers which depend on
external libraries like apogee, sbig, ..etc, they will not be part of the
primary INDI package, but they'll be offered as separate packages.
Installation-wise, I'm using SUSE BuildService to make all these packages
available to all major distributions, and will try to include them in the
official repo for each major distribution.

Regards,
Jasem

SVN commit 867186 by asimha:

Remove the warning about magnitude jump. While this is great help for
debugging and exposes hidden problems, it is a nuisance with the NOMAD
catalog and since the catalogs and code are pretty much fine, it might
be safe to remove it now.
