The code is needed on upload of a map to wl.widelands.org/maps. It has to verify that a map is valid, if it is post one_world (i.e. only working with >= dev and b19) or pre (all versions) of Widelands and extract the minimap image and a bunch of map informations that must get to the database. There are two ways to go about this: 1) either modify the map_info tool to be a python module using boost python (that will add a dependency to boost python to Widelands) or 2) run the stand alone tool on uploads. It can dump its information to some directory from were the website can read it. I think 1 is the way to go - but I am unsure if boost.python is a reasonable dependency, especially since we do not use it for anything but the homepage (so most people will not even benefit from it). > Does this handle old (separate world) maps too?

I removed the file that was the stand alone lua() binary. It defined a main() function which could hide our own main() eris was linked in. I added a comment to third_party/README about that. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/map_information/+merge/226572 Your team Widelands Developers is subscribed to branch lp:~widelands-dev/widelands/map_information. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
