New Datafiles for Top Leagues (en,de,es,fr,it) and Austria (at) - e.g. use $ sportdb new top

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

I've added some more datafiles [1] that let you build your own
football.db with a single command e.g.

$ sportdb new fr2014-15

The new datafiles include:

- de.rb and de2014-15.rb
- es.rb and es2014-15.rb
- it.rb and it2014-15.rb
- fr.rb and fr2014-15.rb
- at.rb and at2014-15.rb
- top.rb and top2014-15.rb (includes top leagues e.g. en,de,es,fr,it)

That's it. As always if you run into any trouble or have questions
or comments, let us know. Cheers.

Hi Gerald,

Thank you for the updates.
I'm still having an issue with the French data:  building DBs works fine for all leagues except for the French league.

Running sportdb new fr2014-15 crashes with the following:
...
[info] parsing data in zip 'setups/2014-15' (fr-france-master/setups/2014-15.txt)...
[info] parsing data in zip (league) 'fr-france!/leagues' (fr-france-master/leagues.txt)...
[info] parsing data in zip (team) 'fr-france!/clubs' (fr-france-master/clubs.txt)...

*** error: Validation failed: Key expected three or more lowercase letters a-z /\A[a-z]{3,}\z/

Same error, when I try sportdb new top2014-15

I'm running this on a MacBook Pro OSX10.10.2 and gem list sportdb gives:
*** LOCAL GEMS ***

sportdb (1.11.0)
sportdb-models (1.11.0)
sportdb-service (0.4.0)
sportdb-update (0.1.1)

Cheers

Hello,
Thanks for trying and reporting the error. Will try the fr2014-15
build and fix the dataset in the next days. Thanks for your patience.
Cheers.

PS: If you want to try to fix yourself, try the --verbose (debug) switch e.g.
$ sportdb --verbose new fr2014-15
to get more info for debugging. Might just be a spelling mistake/error
with a club (team) key.

Hello,
The fr-franche dateset is now fixed. Please retry it should now
work as advertised. There were two minor (breaking issues):

- club.txt started with a byte-order mark (BOM) - thank you Windows!
- club_2.txt included a trailing/misplaced t

Cheers.

No more errors :-)
Thanks
