French Airspace failing with 404

The nightly tests revealed that the French Airspace link has been failing with HTTP 404 for a few days now

Dat file being renamed to cup file

In the waypoint download section of xcsoar there is a file called bga2017.cup which when loaded into xcsoar results in no waypoints being available.

Renaming the downloaded file's extension to dat instead of cup results in available waypoints when loaded into xcsoar.

The source of the file is http://www.nvgc.org.uk/BGA2017.dat so it looks like the issue lies with xcsoar rather than the source.

Insert Netherlands airspace into this repository

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.

Incorrect labels for NAME in Czech and Polish Wave airspace / Check for invalid chars

xcsoar-data-repository/data/airspace-special.json

Line 12 in 3a808b3

"name": "Czech Wave Airspace",

As the NAME tag is actually the destination filename. We should check for a correct file extension. In the openair airspace case its .txt.

Downloading the file works, and if you do it via the settings profile, it will actually select the file.
However if the airspace file list is used, the file will never show up due to the missing extension.

A further thing to check is for things that could be interpreted as a directory traversal: (.. or / )

Check for encoding

Some airspace files are supplied in the wrong encoding. E.g ISO instead of UTF-8. This can throw some parsers off.

EHOSTUNREACH for download.xcsoar.org

USA airspace missing

According to TravisCI the USA airspace is returning error 404 now

Generate repository and Upload on successful check

Once a build passes the continous integration stage, the repository should be generated with nodejs and automatically uploaded to download.xcsoar.org/repository.

Airspace / France-21-05.txt / broken with XCSoar 7.19

Hello,

French airspace file can't be opened with recent version of XCSoar (because of OpenAIR parser bug fix in XCSoar 7.19 https://github.com/XCSoar/XCSoar/releases/tag/v7.19 )

You can find a more precise description of the problem at:

• https://www.volavoile.net/index.php?showtopic=13967#entry123418
• http://www.parapentiste.info/forum/developpements-hardware-software/xc-soar-probleme-open-air-avec-nouvelle-version-719-t59679.0.html;msg782172

A temporary fixes have been given at http://bobcrn.free.fr/France_21-5new.txt

The file available on Soaringweb should be updated to avoid this (or a new file should be given by Commission Espace Aérien of FFVP)

Maybe a workaround could be to temporary point to http://bobcrn.free.fr/France_21-5new.txt instead of https://soaringweb.org/Airspace/FR/France-21-05.txt

or have a new version of this file!

Kind regards

PR #211

Replace AFR_GARIEP_DAM sub-map with South Africa in its entirety

NB: Dependent on XCSoar/xcsoar-data-maps#5 being merged, and the ZA map generating successfully.

Motivation:

1. The AFR_GARIEP_DAM map is already ~93% of the land area of South Africa (so rather use the new, entire ZA map), yet does not contain the very popular Cape Gliding Club mountain ridges.
2. Gariep Dam is better described as being in the country of South Africa (ZA), as opposed to the continent of Africa.

Travis ci failing

@Turbo87 Do you have any idea what I could do about the mocha test which constantly fails? The urls are available when I test them manually.

File availability script

This repository should have a small script that checks if the referenced files are still available.

Check New South Wales map

There are reports that the map is damaged.
Rebuild if necessary.

Type missing for romania airspace

data/airspace.json

    { "name": "Romania_Airspace.txt",

      "area": "ro",

Probably airspace file type 😉

add landewiesen.streckenflug.at

Ask whether we can incoorporate.

Kobo can't do SSL URLS

I noted that the kobo wget binary is built without ssl. This is problematic as it cannot download repo content via https. Currently all the urls have been changed to http until https://bugs.xcsoar.org/ticket/3842 is resolved

soaringweb.org urls not properly checked in travis

Hi,

soaringweb.org doesn't supply proper 404 return codes...

It supplies the following webpage:

<style type="text/css"> a:link {text-decoration: underline} a:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: red} </style> <TITLE>Data Service Message</TITLE> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> </script>

Can't read file

This is why several changes haven't been caught. France Airspace is not good, neither is Canada, and the rest i haven't checked yet.

UK Airspace defective

The current url points to the "heights layer map". Its techically not airspace. The UK seems special as they use a windows program (asselect) to generate a personal airspace file. The options as far as I can see is to link to the 2014 Version or to remove it from the repository.

Add missing waypoint files to waypoints.json

Waypoints.json only contains a few countries. The list under: http://download.xcsoar.org/waypoints/ is much more extensive.

Add RASP Sources

http://rasp.inn.leedsmet.ac.uk/XCSoar/ lists a Downloadable rasp source. A current limitation of this is that XCSoar expects the RASP file to be named xcsoar-rasp.dat. So only one file can currently exist at the time.

Nightly builds

Just FYI I've enabled this repo at https://nightli.es/ to be build automatically every 24 hours. That way we will get notified earlier if one of the files goes offline and not just on the next PR that fails for some unrelated reason.

Write airspace file generator for skylines airspace_list.txt

Skylines also requires current airspace. The file is located:
https://github.com/skylines-project/skylines/blob/813cbd7c7c0874026737659fa3ae9a65b8146ec1/mapserver/airspace/airspace_list.txt
This list should should be generated and imported to skylines on a commit basis.

Add Wave Files from http://glidinghotspots.eu/

There are wave sectors marked in the wave file. Could be useful. :-)

alternate repository ?

Although it's an Issue for XCSoar I reckon the audience here has a vested interest in this:

Currently the URI of the "repository" is hard coded in
src/Repository/Glue.cpp
It points to "http://download.xcsoar.org/repository".

This "one size fits all" approach is probably not ideal for several reasons: I might never be interested in data for the opposite side of the globe. I might want to publish the waypoints for a local competition which in turn is pointless for everybody else. etc.

Are there any plans to allow users to configure their own repository URI?

French airspace outdated

I have just updated the French airspace for XCSoar, using its download feature.
The header of the file shows this version is one year old:

*                        SOURCE: AIP FRANCE 2019/05/23                         *
*                               Version 2019-05                                *
*                           Fichier crée 23 mai 2019  

The French soaring federation (FFVP) currently hosts a much recent version:

*                        SOURCE: AIP FRANCE 2020/04/23                      *

Looking at the file https://github.com/XCSoar/xcsoar-data-repository/blob/master/data/airspace.json , I notice the French airspace comes from the URL: http://soaring.gahsys.com/Airspace/FR/190523__AIRSPACE_FRANCE_2019-05.txt

How to make the most recent FFVP airspace file available to all XCSoar's users?

Airfield frequencies in `Germany.cup` are outdated

Some of the airfield radio frequencies in Germany changed this year and due to that our Germany.cup file is now outdated.

Travis-CI should test airspace files for parsing errors

In order to catch faulty files supplied by 3rd parties, we should try to parse the resources and check for errors. Aerofiles-python library has support for parsing openair, cup and dat files.

Repository issue

Hungarian airspace source has been changed from http to https!

Replace nodejs Repository generation with a python script

The repository generation should be replaced from node to a python based solution.

Requirements:

• Build repository from the included json files in this git repo
• Ability to merge external json files example
  http://download.xcsoar.org/waypoints/waypoints-by-country.json
  (maps will have a similar setup)
• Be able to test urls for availability (this can then be included in the github action prior to deployment, and for testing prs)
