    Yes it is marked as compatible with KSP 1.10.1 in CKAN, and no, getting it manually is not the right way for RSS/RO/RP-1.

    Yes and no. The way CKAN works is that there are tens of thousands of metadata files, one for each mod release. It contains all the necessary data CKAN needs to know about the mod, like installation instructions, dependencies, compatibility, version number...
