[Bug 1357786] Re: Embedded Vyzor package is a couple of years old!
Just that it is in the resource file but nothing uses it from there, it
is inaccessible to the end-user in that place.

Title:
Embedded Vyzor package is a couple of years old!
Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Just checking the vyzor.mpackage file that is included in the source
code and EMBEDDED into the Mudlet executable via the resource file I
find it contains files the latest of which has a date-stamp of 30
November 2012! Given that at the time of writing Oneymus's latest
master Github version is dated 22 July 2014 we really ought to update
the bundled version. As it turns out the Mudlet executable does NOT
use/load and the source code does not mention it anywhere (unlike the
Geyser framework that is implicitly loaded at profile start-up) I
suggest it may be best to remove this resource from the bundle at this
time, if that is not felt appropriate then we should at least update
it.
Assuming that Vyzor and Geyser are mutually exclusive (I do not know
that this IS the case) do we need to provide a way for the user to
select between them and provide a load from resource file mechanism
for it to be actually used; or, if they ARE capable of running side by
side, we still need to provide a loading mechanism. And have an
update method! So perhaps we should un-package it and instead install
the individual files in a <mudlet-lue>/lua/vyzor directory alongside
the corresponding <mudlet-lue>/lua/geyser one.
