Feature #854464
modpack-installer documentation (for publishers and users)
0%
Description
Maybe more people would publish modpacks that the installer could use if the format and layout of the files was documented.
The user documentation could be clearer too -- if I were a new user, I'd want to know more about what this tool is downloading and installing to my system, and what I do next after installing a modpack.
(Docs mostly reverse-engineered from code, please shout if I misunderstood the intention)

cazfi points out that it is somewhat documented, at http://www.freeciv.org/wiki/Creating_freeciv-modpack_content . So that's not a complete explanation. (However, that page has drifted somewhat out of date.)
The attached README for git documents the format and process for each branch in detail, and includes user documentation.
When these are committed, I'll probably repurpose the wiki page to link to them and give more of an overview, including how things changed between major versions.

--with-modlist configure option is replaced by a field in the project definition file in S3_0/master ('--with-project-definition', see bootstrap/freeciv.project for the default/example)
