------- Additional Comments From acedit AT armory.com  2005-02-04 18:40 -------
for a while tablet entries were being made as
<base_dir>/spell/<spellname>/DETAILS (etc) when they should be
<base_dir>/spell/DETAILS

Most other spells were generated without a version field in them but now there
is a seperate file containing the version.

cleanse could go and rectify these problems and regenerate the cache tarballs
for those spells or just make them be recast...

The ever present notion of having on disk format changes is manifesting 
itself.
I had originally hoped to avoid that, but i think that was a mistake.

One approach I've thought of is to start versioning tablet structures and have
accessor routines to figure out the data based on the tablet-version. That 
would
stuff all the complexity of accessing the tablet back into libtablet which is
probably not such a bad idea. There could be a "tablet_get_spell_version"
function, and a "tablet_get_updated" function and so on. They could special 
case
on the tablet-version if necessary.

If we do that then we wouldnt need to regenerate the tarballs or anything and
cleanse could be made to just version unversioned tablets in the field.

As time goes on if we want to phase out a tablet version we can force recasts 
of
spells with depreciated tablet version through cleanse --fix or through 
sorcery
queue.

In either case theres some work for cleanse in bug 7819. Thoughts on the 
tablet
version idea? Any other ideas?
