Motivation
After #233, I remembered that @linuxgurugamer had also submitted KSP-CKAN/NetKAN#5178, so I decided to mine it for ideas. It mentions automatic
filter
andfilter_regexp
property generation based on ZIP contents and special handling forShips
folders.Changes
Now the
ModAnalyzer
scans the ZIP to see if any of its files match several common filters, which I determined by looking at all the filters currently present in the NetKAN repo. If so, the install stanza is modified to filter them out. This should take another small bit of work off the hands of maintainers.Ships
folders are not handled specially, because there's too much variation in how authors treat those folders to handle them automatically, and we have an inflator warning for that already anyway (see KSP-CKAN/CKAN#3207).I'm planning to self-review this since it's mainly for me anyway.
