Hi,
In the course of the following issue/pull request combination:
nvaccess/nvda#6109
and
nvaccess/nvda#6110
I and other interested devs/LibLouis contributors are running into a problem that was raised a few years ago: matching table names to filenames and weeding out deprecated/historic tables.
- Name/filename mismatch: LibLouis includes support for more than 50 braille languages/code combinations. Due to years of accumulation (coupled with losing track of who owns copyright for certain tables), we've arrived at a point where we're starting to see instances of name/filename mismatch (a particular case was Dutch braille series where @dkager says g1 files should be used as opposed to g0).
- Historic/deprecated: we have some tables that are deprecated or have become historic artifacts (historic artifacts as in not ported over to use new opcodes).
Thus I propose the following:
- We should update table name/filename database to find out which table is which.
- If we locate tables that were not updated to use the new opcodes, we should consider them deprecated/historic and move them to a subfolder.
Issues to consider:
- As noted by Christian and others, we're waiting for word from some folks regarding table licensing.
- It'll take at least a week to update the database - finding mismatches, asking maintainers on preferred names for some tables and so on.
Thanks.
