Re: [Roadnav-devel] Map download links changed

[<p4d...@sn...>]

	I hunted through their website yesterday, and my search yielded no  
results for any sort of file that gives the latest date, etc.  
Therefore, instead of submitting my code as-is, I emailed the  
maintainer of the files, and asked that person about the naming  
scheme. Hopefully they realize how difficult it is to link to files  
with constantly changing names, and move to a more static naming  
scheme. If they don't think that's viable, I'll ask them if they could  
create a file with the, uh... appendention (date modified) and let us  
know the link to that. Unfortunately... on the website they explicitly  
state that not all files have all been modified on the same date... so  
the links don't actually have all the same appendentions, which makes  
that option not so viable either. This really sucks, I hope they just  
rename them all and keep them that way. Anyway... I'll keep in touch  
about the response. I don't expect one until tomorrow.
