probably not that interesting to you guys (ok, I have not been keeping up on
the recent conversation...).
this was more intended as a means for organizing resources, but might be
interesting.
I cam up with the idea that each directory (within some vfs or directory or
such) could be viewed as a class, which may inherit from other directories
(via use of a special file that lists, eg, what directories are inherited
from).
I started coding stuff for handling it. it is being tied into my vfs stuff,
I am making use of namespaces for this (since I allready had these, and the
approach seemed straightforward). at present everything is relative to the
simulated '/'.
eg, a name might look something like:
vfsdi:entity/misc/apple:model/apple.ac
refers to model/apple.ac in the "directory class" entity/misc/apple.
trying to access a directory through this namespace forces any directory
info to be loaded (eg: inheritence listings, the listings of any inherited
directories, ...).
ok, in this sense the entity definitions will just assume that everything is
based off of a single directory (by "entity" I mean some glob of files or
such that defines some object or another, the exact components of an
"entity" are left undefined at present...).
or such.
