A system that should update automatically the data file.

Is requested the implementation of an automatic system to update the add-on data file.

Description:

Having the shared add-on repository (see FR18) should be easy to implement a system that updates automatically the Celestia data files.

In this scenario should be possible to think to Celestia like to an antivirus with some kind of automatic update. The user should subscribe the automatic download and installation in the local repository of a category or group of add-on in the shared repository in order to have always up-to date his Celestia version.

A particular category of add-on should be the system one. Those add-on should be the ones prepared directly by the development team an that are necessary for the correct and minimal functioning of the software. So the distribution of new versions of Celestia should be extremely light restricted to source and/or binary files.

After the installation an automatic connection to the shared repository should download and install the system add-ons to allow the standard functionalities.

Required/Suggested:

  FR15 Add-On identification;

  FR16 Add-On registration.

  FR18 Add-On repository
