[mkgmap-dev] [mkgmap-svn] Commit r4810: revert changes from r4809 for now, they caused more trouble

Thu Nov 4 16:17:07 GMT 2021

Hi Gerd

Although the Sort change fixes the Unicode problem reported by Carlos
it demonstrated that the different methods of dedupe between Mdr5 and
Mdr25 can lead to the same error with certain patterns of city names
and so I really think this should be fixed at the same time.

If not, it is a problem waiting to happen and the use of, say, code-
page=936 as in Carlos's second problem, could trigger it.

Mdr25 could be reverted to have the weird logic, but I think it was a
bug that would never happen and the code would always confuse.

The obsolete sort/Mdr20Posn/Index can be fixed as a trivial change
soon.

What to do with city case-variants and their street attachments is much
more complicated and needs addressing in the tile-generation phase more
than the MDR generation. This should definitely wait.
