Radar plugin 5.3.2 beta and 5.3.3 prod fails installation on flatpak

[keesverruijt]

On ARM64 (aarch64) and x86_64 the flatpak install fails because the tar.gz doesn't contain the actual plugin files, only a manifest.

Looking at the cloud smith directory, it is pretty obvious that:

1. The following platforms are OK and the expected size (500-700 KB):
   • MSVC
   • macOS-wx315
   • debian-A32-10
   • debian-A32-11
   • ubuntu-gtk3-A32-18.04
   • ubuntu-gtk3-A32-20.04
2. The following are broken (1.5 KB):
   • flatpak-A64-20.08
   • flatpak-20.08
3. The following are way too big:
   • debian-10
   • debian-11
   • ubuntu-gtk3-20.04
   • ubuntu-gtk3-18.04
   • ubuntu-18.04

A workaround is to use the older 5.2 release, if that is an option (your radar works with 5.2).

• Remove the incorrect 5.3.3 tar.gz from ~/.var/app/org.opencpn.OpenCPN/config/opencpn/plugins/cache/tarballs:

  rm ~/.var/app/org.opencpn.OpenCPN/config/opencpn/plugins/cache/tarballs/Radar-5.3.3*

• Download the tar.gz tarball manually from (for instance): https://cloudsmith.io/~opencpn-radar-pi/repos/opencpn-radar-pi-prod/packages/detail/raw/Radar-5.2-flatpak-A64-20.08-tarball/5.2.2-+1309.be299ce/

• Put this in ~/snap

• Import the plugin explicitly.

• This should now work as normal, including showing the radar selection dialog when first installed, or allow access to the preferences.

If this still doesn't work, verify that there is a ~/.var/app/org.opencpn.OpenCPN/lib/opencpn/libradar_pi.so file. If not, you don't have a correct .tar.gz file or something else went wrong in the install.

Fixed in v5.3.4 commit 2b39e69.
