    CKAN gives GitHub as "Home" of the mod, but not as a release source. When CKAN needs the release files, it knows that they must be taken from CurseForge. The releases on GitHub are only the sources snapshots, they cannot and must not be installed into the game. And to stop people doing this mistake, every GitHub release has the following string in the description:

    I wonder, why did you try to install the release from GitHub, given you have CKAN installed?

    I had no problems with mods from any other authors when I downloaded from their GitHub repositories which were listed in CKAN.  Yours are the only mods in my list which don't seem to have the completed release versions posted to GitHub.  CKAN stopped installing my mods correctly for whatever reason, so I manually download the files when it's time to get updates and I discovered there's a difference which wasn't obvious when I was looking for files to download and not stopping to read notations which weren't directly inline with the file links.  There's a big green, "Latest release," icon on the page, so that's what I gravitated toward.

    So, from where I'm sitting, my point is still that I picked up the wrong file because it looked right at a glance.  With that in mind, it would be very easy for you to drop the latest release version on GitHub along with the snapshot/incomplete files instead of depending on users to read everything you wrote when they're just on surgical strikes for a dozen mods to download at trusted links they've been given ... when CKAN doesn't behave.

  2. Just a notice to the author, no reply necessary as it's resolved on my end.

    KSP crashes for me when the game loads while using the KAS/KIS files from GitHub, but using the files from CurseForge lets KSP load normally.  I was led to the GitHub location by CKAN, so take whatever steps you think are appropriate to allow us to just get along normally so you don't get bugged by this kind of thing so much.  At a casual glance, the folders are named differently when they're extracted into the KSP GameData folder ... but I'm not sure whether that's the whole problem.  Here are the links to the locations I used, just for good measure:

    https://github.com/ihsoft/KIS/releases

    https://github.com/ihsoft/KAS/releases

    https://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/kerbal-inventory-system-kis/files/2539020

    https://kerbal.curseforge.com/projects/kerbal-attachment-system-kas/files/2539044

    Keep up the good work.  Kerbal is a much better place with mods like this.
