Hello all, inspired by the current efforts of Keith for adding an interface for airport xml files to the scenery database and the discussion in https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=35582&p=345619#p345619, this question came to my mind: Why do we use a database at all? (This question isn’t intended provocative, just for understanding). Why don’t we use a git/svn repository for storing and maintaining all the STG, model and object files we have in the database? The git workflow already provides features like syncing, logging and reverting. And it could be easier to introduce new features to the scenery (like adding new STG verbs) while modifying the database schema always requires thorough thoughts. Is it an option to migrate from the database to a git repo? Or isn't there a svn repo already that is used by terra sync? Can we just open that repo for commits instead of generating the files from the database? Best Regards Thomas (aka ThomasS) |
