Question about posting EXEs w/ Source on GitHub

[Pontiac]

I've noticed a lot of plugin collisions over the last little bit, one of them being authors including the new Toolbar.dll file in their mod, but, not putting it in the 000_Toolbar directory as they should. This got me to thinking about building an application which has to execute OUTSIDE KSP, since it deals with looking up DLL files. I read the rules, and it only makes mention of the addons, no mention of anything else. So long the code is provided, is it still allowed to post links and such to it?

Look at the Tools and Applications subforum of addon releases. It certainly is fine.

If you are asking about your mod or program being a EXE if it's ok don't see why not as there are programs on space port and here that unzip and install mods and put them were it thinks it go's

Just to note, to my knowledge this has happened exactly once, and the plugin download in question has been fixed quite some time ago.

I'm sorry Blizzy, I wasn't calling you out, or the other mod author (I actually don't even know which mod it was TBQH) by ANY stretch of the imagination, but your awesomest-est-est-er-est toolbar API is quite popular, was the most freshest on my mind, but it is NOT the soul reason I'm writing this DLL finder. It was the trigger, yeah, but, there are a couple of other mods out there that package older mod DLLs (Permitted or not, I don't know) into their own package, which causes grief for other mods. It just seemed like a theme the other day, reading through the active threads that conflicting DLLs were a source of problems. So, brain storm, a day of coding (due to a LOT of interruptions from kids and wife, and I'm sure the dog would have got involved if she hadn't been in hot water with me for the past 6 years), and I have a working product that picks off commonly named DLLs. Some tweaks need to be done, and I'll post out the links for download.

Sounds like a good idea, would you be providing executables for operating systems other than Windows?
