Uavcan file extension

Development & Maintenance

I’m working through the chapter on dsdl in the v1 specification and realized that I don’t know why dsdl files have a .uavcan extension instead of a .dsdl extension? Should we support either?

We might, although it may cause confusion with document schema definition language(s). Should we vote?

We need a third option: “I don’t know”. Since I don’t know, I will desist from voting and observe from a distance.

Should we allow .dsdl as a file extension for DSDL files?

This would be in addition to allowing .uavcan as an extension. If this proposal is accepted we would support two and only two extensions: ( .uavcan , .dsdl ). These extensions, per the v1 specification, would be case-sensitive ergo we would not support (.UAVCAN, .DSDL).

This has slipped through the cracks somehow. Do we still want this? If yes, somebody should submit a pull request to PyDSDL.

I took a quick peek but I don’t think anything in there enforces any file extension. Am I missing something?

Enforced right here:
