Research direction

Start by tracing how XILINX_TCLAPP_REPO is consulted when Vivado loads apps from ~/.Xilinx/Vivado/2014.3/XilinxTclStore, especially when the repository is unavailable. Reproduce the offline-repository case and verify that already-installed apps still load, with a warning only for missing or outdated catalog entries.

Description

enhancement

If our local repo (set through XILINX_TCLAPP_REPO env) is not available (f.e. server offline), our tcl apps (which have already been installed from the local repo) are not loaded.

I would expect all installed apps to be always loaded (they are copied in ~/.Xilinx/Vivado/2014.3/XilinxTclStore) even when our local repo (from where they were installed) is not available.
A critical warning could indicate that the installed app is out of date or doesn't exist in the Vivado installation catalog but if it is already installed, it should be loaded.
