Actually, I like Larry's suggestion about using symlinks better. Could
the parts tracker maintain symlinks to all the official parts in the
unofficial library. If a new version comes in, the symlink gets replaced
with an actual file. When the part is approved, the hard file in the
unofficial lib gets replaced with a symlink to the official part. This
way the ldglite search path code doesn't have to change, and I don't
want to change it because I didn't write either of the parsers, that's
Lars' and Gyug's code.

The linux version of ldglite gets the LDRAWDIR path from the environment
so I'm not sure an additional command line is necessary. Just change
the environment variable before running.

I could've sworn there was an option for this, perhaps it's only in the
ldlite documention, not the ldglite readme. Anyhow, if there isn't an
option, I'll add one.

| (...) I think you and Larry are right. I'd prefer to keep a separate library of symlinked files. That way, the unofficial library stays clean. And I don't have to change any of the existing scripts that read through the unofficial library. So, when (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.cad)
