I think the cache should be zipped up server-side, so I'm going to implement that before merging. |
The AddonCatalogCacheCreator.py script is intended to be run server-side by a cron-like process, regularly generating a downloadable cache of all addon metadata. The Addon Manager will then fetch this file, which in conjunction with the Addon Catalog hosted at https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Addons/AddonCatalog.json will be enough information to display the list of non-macro addons, including their icons. As of this writing the cache file is approximately 4MB uncompressed.

The
AddonCatalogCacheCreator.pyscript is intended to be run server-side to generate a cache of addon metadata: the contents of anypackage.xml,requirements.txt, andmetadata.txtfiles are included. If thepackage.xmlfile is present, the cache will also include the icon that represents the addon (either the icon set for the top-levelpackageelement, or the first icon specified for acontentelement). The cache represents all known branches/tags/versions of an Addon, as specified in the https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons/blob/master/AddonCatalog.json file.
