Re: [Flightgear-devel] [Flightgear-users] World Scenery 1.0.1 (final directory comparison)

2008-11-04 Thread Melchior FRANZ
Hi,

* Ralf Gerlich -- 11/3/2008 5:29 PM:
 why do you take this to the -users list again, where it is obviously
 off-topic as a development issue and after I had taken the discussion
 where it belongs: to the -devel list?

Sorry, that was an accident. I had intended to stop posting to this
fruitless thread and wanted to do that with a final conclusion from
my point of view (including technical arguments, which you had
totally avoided until then, while demanding them from me). And a
conclusion is better on an outer thread level, than nested deeply
inside. I don't sort *-devel and *-users to different dirs on this
machine, and just thought the duplicate mails would have the usual
cause. I responded to the same thread that I had chosen first,
and that was the one where others had already posted.



 So as long as you do not _prove_ us wrong, there is no reason to
 conclude that our proposal is nonsensical. I will show that what you did
 is far from proving us wrong.

Well, your only argument was too dangerous to change now, which
I've debunked later. We just don't use anything of that yet, do we?
And who are all those experts, who were also not keen to let us
know any of those technical arguments? Sure, I might be wrong in
some of mine, and I'm always willing to learn and change my mind.
That's what discussion is about. And presenting something as
proposal usually means that it's up for debate. It just ended up
as a pretty one-sided discussion, with arguments on my side, but
none on yours. (Also note that I was fairly friendly at the
beginning -- I only became annoyed after my arguments were
countered with demanding *more* arguments, rather than dealing
with them.)



 I am full-quoting your mail, so all developers not on the users-list can
 see what we are talking about. That should be also in your interest,
 because your and my comments can now be found in additional places, so
 you and I can occasionally point to it ;-)

:-P



 Airports/L/O/X/LOXA.ils.xml
   /LOXA.parking.xml
   /LOXA.rwyuse.xml
   /LOXA.twr.xml
   /LOXA.threshold.xml
   /LOXN.ils.xml
   /LOXN.parking.xml
   /LOXN.rwyuse.xml
   /LOXN.twr.xml
   /LOXN.threshold.xml

Also note that three letters of this prefix are identical and thus
redundant, and that there are several files with long names that 
differ only in one letter somewhere in-between. Add this to my
technical arguments. Call it non-technical, if you want.  :-)



 Your personal taste is not in itself a sufficient argument for a change
 in this context.

Yes, that's bad. We should work on that.  ;-)



 Just because it might not cost anything doesn't mean that it's better.

It is better. Why do you think we have Sound/, Nasal/ Dialogs/ directories
in aircraft dirs, even if there's often only one file in them? It's
about abstraction, clear structure and quick finding. From a pure
technical point of view there's not much difference. FlightGear wouldn't
care, and even thrown together there would often still be fewer files
than in your Airports/L/O/X/ directory. But that's not the point, IMHO.



 Saving space might not be the only argument in favour of twr, and even
 without such an argument, I can see no important point against our
 proposal here that would warrant a change.

twr kind of hurts. ac may also be a very often used abbreviation for
aircraft in aviatics, but I'd still not call the Aircraft/ dir ac/,
the Airports/ dir apt/, etc. But this was never my main complaint
anyway.


 
 This is what I wrote:
  So if there is a strong argument in favour of the changes you proposed,
  I'm open to such a last-minute change, but otherwise I'd rather leave
  the structure as it is.

Yes, you demanded more arguments after I had given some already, without
bothering to add some of yours, and implying that mine weren't technical.
I found this a bit funny and surprising. Abstraction, cleanliness etc.
are IMHO very technical.



 However, easy path creation wasn't the goal of the structure. An even
 easier path would have been Airports/KSFO/*.xml or
 Airports/KSFO.xml, but that would have contradicted the intent.

I would say that file access (logic and speed) is a rather important
point of data storage. And very technical, too. All on one level would
be slow and might be too much for some file systems.



 So this reduces it all to combining the files of one airport into one
 file, which we already discussed and dismissed for reasons of differing
 sources of information and which you did not propose in your final
 comparison anymore.

Yes, because the need to have many files per airport was actually your
only argument. I based my final suggestion on that requirement. But,
ok, let's go with the on-file-per-airport approach. I actually find
Curt's Airports/L/LO/LOX/LOXT.xml suggestion the sanest of all.

Yes, we were really only arguing over whether a fourth level would
be too expensive, and whether organizing files via prefixes rather
than directories is a good idea.

How often do we assume that files in that structure are accessed?
A few dozens at startup, then one every few minutes? Performance
considerations about another dir level don't make much sense to me.
Especially if you consider that the harddisk has its own read-ahead
cache, and that the kernel adds another layer. If you tell it to
read one sector, then it will read a few of them and store them in
RAM, just in case (AFAIK). The effect of that is hard to estimate,
of course. IMHO writing for the machine's preferences is something
that kernel and file system designers should do, not usually
application designers. Microoptimization often turns out to be
counterproductive later on. Having said that, I agree that adding
*many* files is still a problem, though. (I've always considered
file systems based on fixed numbers of inodes bad design. I'm
not using that sort of stuff here.  :-) 



 The more I hear, the less I like this idea.  So I won't have ILS navaids
 available if I don't download the scenery tile?  I won't be able to look
 for airports unless I pull the whole world scenery?

But some information just doesn't make sense in one huge file that's
completely read and parsed every time at startup, then kept in memory.
I agree, though, that we have to be careful about it.



 Under the current scheme anyone and everyone can scan apt.dat for
 every/any airport using common *nix tools like grep or sed.  This scheme
 breaks that ability.

I didn't assume that we are going to drop that single DB with all
important info. Just the parts that you don't usually care about,
like parking positions, taxiway information or thresholds for VHHH
when your are flying in KSFO.



 I'll shut up now since I've already been told I'm not a real
 FlightGear developer and I'm not welcome to create scenery.

Ok my turn :)
I found Ron's comment about not being welcome to create scenery a bit 
disturbing ... why?
So I'll ask a dumb , non developer question: What exactly is the purpose 
of this directory setup ?
Will it affect my own attempt to update local scenery ?Is it meant to 
make scenery additions easier ?
I must have missed out on all the discussion about this change , sorry .
 Now that I have a much better CYVR tile ,
I'm about to try to finish the airport , so are there any changes in the 
way they are supposed to be added ?
I'm not excited about all those strange directories , but then I'm not 
sure what the purpose is , so can't give an opinion other than my own 
gut feeling.
As far as Melchoir,s opinion's , ok sometimes he has irritated me in the 
past , but it was more irritating to discover he was right :). So I 
respect his opinion , and its comforting to know that someone is doing 
there level best to keep things sane .

 There is reason to separate the pure airport geometry data from the

 differently: one part automatically generated from apt.dat, the other is
 manually created using TaxiDraw.
 
 My _personal_ view is that the data coming from the apt.dat could be
 merged into one XML-file. This point was already discussed.
 
 There is also reason to split the data up into one airport per file to
 allow fast lookup by airport-ID.
 
  Right now, Martin's proposal uses path/file dot extension dot
  another extension.  That is the main thing that jumps out at me as being
  unappealing.
 
 I have already provided the arguments in favour of the three-level
 hierarchy.

By my count, there are some 21,893 airports in apt.dat.  This scheme
will require 36 top level directories, 1011 2nd level directories and
8634 3rd level directories.  So a full Scenery/Airports/ would contain 
some 109,465 files and 9,681 directories.  Managing this in CVS would
add another 9,681 CVS directories and 29,000 (Entries, Repository and
Root)  files.

So we could conceivably end up with 140,000 files and 20,000
directories?  

  One issue to consider is that on windows file systems, the minimum block
  size is usually really big, so tons of little files really burns up and
  wasted disk space.
 
 Due to the splitting, each user only downloads those airport-data files
 that are related to the scenery area downloaded.

The more I hear, the less I like this idea.  So I won't have ILS navaids
available if I don't download the scenery tile?  I won't be able to look
for airports unless I pull the whole world scenery?

  So in fact only those
 people will see an notable increase in disk size who already accept the
 disk usage of larger scenery areas. Others will probably only notice
 being spared the load of apt.dat.gz

Under the current scheme anyone and everyone can scan apt.dat for
every/any airport using common *nix tools like grep or sed.  This scheme
breaks that ability.

 In a similar way, this applies to the .stg-files as well. Still I don't
 see anyone having objected to this aspect of scenery organisation _for
 years_ and having provided and implemented a different concept.
 
 Again: If anyone has a better proposal than the one provided by us,
 present and implement it.

Why not just ship apt.dat and nav.dat with the scenery release instead
of the base package?  Simple, efficient and it doesn't break all the
current code and methods that use these files.


I'll shut up now since I've already been told I'm not a real
FlightGear developer and I'm not welcome to create scenery.

Thanks,

Ron

Hi Syd,

 Ok my turn :)
 I found Ron's comment about not being welcome to create scenery a bit
 disturbing ... why?

Just to make a slightly off thread comment: All I can say is that Ron's 
comments on this list have been courteous and professional and I also don't 
remember any negative comments in referral to him, so I'm also rather puzzled 
by this statement. 

 So I'll ask a dumb , non developer question: What exactly is the purpose
 of this directory setup ?
 Will it affect my own attempt to update local scenery ?Is it meant to
 make scenery additions easier ?

Basically, this new scheme will serve a number of purposes. First and 
foremost, coupling airport related data to the scenery makes it a lot easier 
and more flexible to update the and maintain the scenery. Currently, (almost) 
all the airport data that is used by FlightGear is read from apt.dat. This not 
only means that we have to parse 2+ airpport to get the startup location 
for just one of those, it also means that we are limited in doing updates to 
the scenery: Suppose you would finetune the runway layout of your favorite 
airport. If this update were to be included in a new scenery release, you'd 
find out that FlightGear would place you off the runway, because the original 
startup position is still calculated based on an apt.dat file, which does not 
reside in the scenery, but in the base package. 

By moving this information out of the base package, and including it in the 
scenery, maintaining the scenery will become much better maintainable. Also, 
separating this information into separate files, mean less IO at program 
initialization, and therefore faster startup times. 


Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Durk

As far as I can tell we didn't recieve any submissions which are

is still the same there.
Wrt. the ILS: This should be still the same as before because
FlightGear is designed to read the ILS info from the Base Package - and
this has not changed with the Scenery.

 Ok my turn :)

Yeah, yeah, yeah  ;-)

 I must have missed out on all the discussion about this change , sorry .

Have it here:

  
http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg17407.html

 I'm about to try to finish the airport , so are there any changes in the 
 way they are supposed to be added ?

The usual procedure is to submit changes to Robin Peel. Unfortunately
he had been droppping support for 'our' format recently - I'm in
negotiations with him about wether he's going to resume.

 As far as Melchoir,s opinion's , ok sometimes he has irritated me in the 
 past , but it was more irritating to discover he was right :). So I 
 respect his opinion , and its comforting to know that someone is doing 
 there level best to keep things sane .

Well, there are some places where Melchior has a clue and there are
some places where he obviously does not. So it's alway better to have
your own opinion instead of blindly relying on someone elses  :-)

Thanks guys , I think I understand the purpose  now. I was referring to 
adding airport building at CYVR , I haven't tried actually modifying the 
terrain or airport layout .
Cheers

 Hi Syd,
 
  Ok my turn :)
  I found Ron's comment about not being welcome to create scenery a bit
  disturbing ... why?
 
 Just to make a slightly off thread comment: All I can say is that Ron's 
 comments on this list have been courteous and professional and I also don't 
 remember any negative comments in referral to him, so I'm also rather puzzled 
 by this statement. 

Thanks everyone.

I had an e-mail exchange off-list today and I believe there was a
misunderstanding of a forum post.

Another example of the difficulties of communicating over e-mail and
forums.  It is too easy to misinterpret the meanings or targets of
disparaging remarks.

Thank you again and sorry for the thread hijack.

Ron
