Thanks for everyone's feedback on my ideaThe problem with this is that this data is distributed as part of the code.Sebastian Spaeth writes:That is correct and it is not perfect.Martijn van Oosterhout writes:Distribution of the data was a problem considered at the beginning but never really solved.I have now found that there is some update code built into tilesGen.pl. It checks a version file on the svn server, and if the version number haschanged, it does an svn update to retrieve the latest version, which includes any changes to oceantiles_12.dat. This does have some advantages over my idea. It keeps everything up-to-date, including osmarender style sheets and, of course, the code itself. It is based on a "version.txt" file on the server. Anyone know who/what updates that?
I do, and this method is very much alpha stage. and it's Version.php on the tah server and version.txt on the client.
I think I will concentrate first on making the svn update work reliably. I found that when I delete everything from my work directory, whichincludes the local version.txt file, the code doesn't always reset it and pick up a new version. The code looks right, so I'll have to do some debugging.
please do.
While updates to the binary file may or may not be the most efficient way to do it, they are relatively infrequent, and probably not significant in the total traffic of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] client. And it still allows offline use.
I'd say that a new layer *might* be a bit overkill, as blankness information is in the current default layer as well.I didn't realize there was a default layer. I'll go learn some more about it.
it's the "osmarender" layer you see on informationfreeway by default.
So for now I'm going to concentrate on debugging existing features before introducing new bugs, I mean features :-)
