There is no proposal to parse ALL the xml files to get a simple list like you mention i.e. for the FMS. It is going away from parsing the parsed parse parsers anyway. My intention is to get simple and recent xml files that hold any valuable information coming from apt.dat for different purposes, instead of splitting up all the information into small pieces and distribute semi-redundant files and databases which needs to be updated at 3 or 4 places for one single small change. FlightGear scenery history shows that this will probably never happen because it is too complicated this way. I assume also getting this xml data into postgres/postgis tables is much easier than updating and using ogr2ogr plugs (which could be updated of course to the new formats, but I would tend to declare all this stuff deprecated, I don’t see many volunteers to help for such tasks). > >> I would also vote for a less nested structure than A/B/C/D/DDDD.xml, = >> >> just D/DDDD.xml > > Well, everybody has his personal favourite for a directory structure. > We had been evaluating a lot of pros and cons (poor man's indexing, > directory traversal latency, number of directories and the like) before > deciding in favour of the structure the way it is now. > The mentioned mailing list thread contains a lot of discussion about > the directory structure as well and there was no convincing argument > against the structure we chose.

I didn’t want to discuss directory structure based on personal favourites. The Really Good Reason is to make things easier. And for me personally ... four years old threads are not cut in stone. New ideas arrive, so let’s start a new thread ;-) Cheers, Yves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
