Write airspace file generator for skylines airspace_list.txt about xcsoar-data-repository

[lordfolken]

The generator has been committed in 6b99248
What is left to do, is the automatic upload and import to skylines.

I'm not sure if this is the right repo for that...

[lordfolken]

I was hoping to provision both applications from this repository. The CI path should also upload the results to skylines, as skylines currently has very old airspace data. Please make a suggestiion.

the problem is that the skylines importing is a lot more involved and not quite as easy as just uploading a file. we could fire some sort of webhook from here, but I don't want to couple this repo too tightly to SkyLines.

Hi,

indeed, we're using GDAL/OGR to parse the airspace files. It's parser is
not as robust as XCSoar's airspace parser and causes some problems
sometimes. I'd like to use XCSoar parser for it's reliability, but then
we'd need some more api functionality.

Additionally, airspace files often include FIRs and country borders
which have to be removed manually (using the airspace_blacklist.txt)
when importing into the database, otherwise the map will be a lot more
cluttered.
