Title: Package Manager
Post by: Spuds on May 02, 2015, 08:46:28 am
I've been going through our friend package manager (again), well not the entire thing but install and install2 functions.  I wanted to try and break them up a bit more as those functions are just monsters. 

Anyway in doing that exercise I came across the old boardmod style support and wanted to ask, do we really need to support that any longer?

I'm really not sure of how often it was/is used or the story behind it, seems like an easier to read XML formatting, not sure if it predates the xml, or is/was used side by side or if its a just a legacy.

Just curious, I mean how many ways do we want to support messing up the source files :P

I'm pretty sure there is an issue about that, but I can't find it... as usual.

Kill it with fire was my suggesion. nods

Absolute legacy from 1.0 or so.

ETA: found it!
