[Flightgear-devel] CVS - Data Re-organisation

[Vivian M. <viv...@li...>]

Hi all,

A few days ago the data in cvs was reorganised with several directories
being moved from Models to AI/Aircraft. This not only broke the carriers
(because the move wasn't completed correctly), and lumped ships and aircraft
in the same directory, but also misunderstood the purpose of the AI/Aircraft
directory. This is intended to hold "lightweight" models for use by the AI
Traffic Manager and Multiplayer, usually, but not exclusively, in the form
of xml wrappers which actually point elsewhere, either to the appropriate
Aircraft or Models directory. It was not intended to be a heap for anything
which didn't fit conveniently elsewhere. This change has neither been
discussed nor agreed. 

Subject to there being no substantive objections here, I intend to revert
this change over the coming weekend. This has been discussed with and agreed
upon by fellow core developers, This is also the consensus view on *IRC*.

Now, this probably isn't the best solution, and putting ships under
Models/Geometry is, to say the least, a bit eccentric. So we can work on
deriving a better answer, once we have got back the status quo ante.
