oolite 1.80-1

Oolite 1.80 has a new feature, managing addons from wthin the game.
Managed Addons are meant to be put in
~/GNUstep/Library/ApplicationSupport/Oolite/ManagedAddOns folder .

If that folder doesn't exist, the built-in expansion manager is not able to create it and fails when installing an expansion

Steps to reproduce:

start Oolite
choose 'manage expansion packs'
choose 'update expansion list
continue
choose 'install expansion pack'
select any expansion to install

Attached is an edited /usr/bin/oolite script that creates that folder if it doesn't exist.

I will also report this bug on Oolite BBS.
   oolite (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Since this has been fixed in upstream and will be available at some point, is there any merit in fixing it in the package at this point?

After thinking about it, the problem can be easily solved by creating the necessary folder ourselves.

given the problem is now documented both in this BR and on oolite BBS, i do expect arch users will be able to solve this.

Going to request closure.
