This guide is based on the user guide written by Matthew Gates for
version 0.10 around 2008. The guide was then ported to the Stellarium
wiki and continuously updated by Barry Gerdes and Alexander Wolf up to version 0.12.

Unfortunately, some new features were not properly documented in the wiki, and generally,
without Barry the wiki started to fall out of sync with
the actual program. In late 2015 we (Alexander and Georg) started porting the texts
back to \LaTeX{} and updated and added information where necessary,

\label{sec:landscapes:Packing}

You likely have developed your landscape already in your own Stellarium user data directory, but when you are happy with your work,
you may consider sharing it with other users.
For easy distribution and installation via Stellarium's GUI (see section~\ref{sec:gui:view:landscape}), you should create a ZIP file.
This must contain \file{landscape.ini} and any textures and auxiliary files described above (\file{description.en.utf8}, \file{gazetteer.en.utf8}
and their translations, horizon files, images for the description \ldots) used by your landscape.
If you want to release the landscape for download, consider adding a \file{README.txt} clarifying license and usage conditions.
It does not matter whether the ZIP file contains a directory name inside the ZIP. If not, the directory name (ID) of the
landscape will be taken from the ZIP file name.
