Re: [Flightgear-devel] The future of terrasync

[Curtis O. <cur...@fl...>]

I should let Torsten answer, but he's likely fast asleep right now
(Europe), unless he has to get up to let out the dog ... in which case I
would recommend he stays away from his computer so he can get back to
sleep. :-)

My understanding is that the http download method will function very much
as before where only the changed files (if any) are downloaded.

The svn method requires 2x the actual space because of the way svn works
under the hood.  Git typically requires that you download every version
ever created to get the latest copy (there are work arounds if you just
want the most recent version.)

So the end result for the average user that just wants to download and use
the scenery is that the http method will be lighter weight overall.  It
also simplifies the code inside FlightGear quite a bit and should make the
synchronization more robust.  And as mentioned before, it should simplify
the task of setting up a scenery mirror for those that wish to do that.

As before, power users will have multiple options for updating scenery or
mixing and matching from different sources if they choose.

Best regards,

Curt.
