Hi All, The tgz, osgtgz and zip plugins have been part of the OSG from the very early days, but they are really hacky using a system(..) call to unpack the archive file into a temporary directory, then call readNodeFile on the files enclosed, then remove the temporary directory. In the early days this was kinda useful for quick a dirty wrapping up of models that contain .osg and .rgb files but these days we have the .osga archive format and the .ive binary format that support these requirements in far more slick and reusable way - without the hacky system calls or temporary files.
So... my proposal is to remove them from svn/trunk and place them in the deprecated annex of the svn repository. Thoughts? (You'll need a good reason ... for me to keep any one of them ;-) Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
