Right, we filter them out when building the base package (and can do other transforms, eg if we wished to apply filtering or checks to PNGs):

Eg see:

	https://gitlab.com/flightgear/fgmeta/-/blob/next/release_builder/base_package_excludes?ref_type=heads

… which is used by the ‘create_base_package.sh` script in that directory,

Kind regards,
James
