[Mapbender-users] Heads-up for MapServer users: start removing all references to DUMP in your mapfiles now...

[Astrid Emde (WhereGroup)]

Hello Jeff,

thanks a lot for sharing the information. I guess there are several 
MapServer users around. We are looking forward to version 8.0 already :)

On the MapServer list Even shared this:
"From a quick test, a one-liner can easily do the DUMP bla removal:

find /root/dir/of/your/mapfiles -name "*.map" -exec sed -i 
"s/\s*DUMP.*//" {} \;

Even"

So it should be easy to fix all the mapfiles.

See you

Astrid
