Insert Netherlands airspace into this repository #67

Closed roeles closed 7 years ago

roeles commented 7 years ago

Maurits Dortu from GliderPilotShop, the author of the Netherlands airspace file, gave permission by email to Roel Baardman to host a copy of the airspace file. This file should only be updated when the original author updates the file.

Besides adding the original file to this repository, the link in the JSON-file should also be updated.

Asked the author for the latest version of the file. Awaiting response.

@roeles cool, thanks for taking care of this.

we can likely just use the "raw" link of GitHub to download the file to devices (e.g. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/XCSoar/xcsoar-data-repository/8b08befc51aa72162e36c543d0a39871e8196610/data/flarmnet.json)

Yeah, that's what I plan to do.

roeles commented 7 years ago

The airspace is now available: https://www.gliderpilotshop.com/databases

I have permission to copy it into github. I wonder:

Turbo87 commented 7 years ago

what is the proposed location for the new airspace file?

I'd say put it in data/airspace/nl.txt.

Do we have preferences for file naming? The current filename is EHv17_3.txt, but this includes the version. I could reduce it to EH.txt, but perhaps we want to use some other filename extension or naming?

Since we would/should include the SHA1 in the download link it would already be versioned so I'd say we should probably just use the official country code (e.g. nl in this case)
