[Kirigami] Missing data doesn't update as maps get downloaded

[PureTryOut]

In the screenshot the Netherlands is still shown, even though it has already been downloaded. The text will update once all data is downloaded, but it would be nice to see what's left from the current point rather than from the start of downloading.

It is showing as not available as it is probably not uncompressed yet. Bit confusing, I agree. I will put it into the box of 'nice to have when you have tons of time' issues.

Maybe have to rework the whole distribution handling of the maps and switch to some proper packaging solution, just that would also require some major work on it. As choosing some packaging format (RPM,DEB,...), configuring maps distribution server as repo server, and let OSM Scout Server subscribe to that repo and update using corresponding packaging library. Could be a project for someone to look into.

Packaging maps as a RPM or DEB? I don´t see why you would ever do that, just upload it as a compressed tar file with some good compression on it.

Just to be clear: Idea is not to integrate with OS distro packaging, but make separate maps "root" folder on device which is maintained by some packaging lib/approach. In principle, that is what is happening now as well, just using rather primitive packaging routines written as a part of osm scout server.

The advantages of going into some upstream lib are as follows:

• packaging lib would be able to calculate required space on device correctly. Right now, I am using "pessimistic" approach and somewhat overestimate the requirements as tiles from different countries may overlap.
• packaging lib would be able to update the status in a less confusing way

There are probably some other advantages as well. Main cons is the work required to replace current working solution.
