support data model for multi-part lists

[DandelionSprout]

I am in the process of adding Little Snitch and related lists and syntaxes, and came across https://github.com/naveednajam/Little-Snitch---Rule-Groups during the process.

This appears to be a full conversion of Unified Hosts + Fakenews + Gambling + Porn + Social into Little Snitch's format... but because Little Snitch seems to have a limit of 10,000 entries per list (according to this forum thread), he has chose to split it up into eight smaller lists.

So that leaves me wondering what to do in a situation like this. I feel it'd be unfair (and slightly cluttering) to list them all individually on FilterLists.com in a Unified Hosts for Little Snitch, Part 3-style. And the ability to use multiple view links was not made with scenarios like these in mind.

Good question. So, the different sections aren't separated by categories at all, it is purely based on a max number of rules per file?

Hmm... First, have we seen this with any other lists? Or is this a first? I know we have some lists that have categorical modules and then a master list combining them all. But, categorical modules have a basis for being listed as a standalone list on its own merit, and the master list can be marked as a Merge of the modules...

Will think on it...

From what I can determine, that is correct. Each section has a seemingly alphabetically ordered but mashed-together combination of e.g. malware domains, gambling domains, porn domains, and other domains.

First, have we seen this with any other lists? Or is this a first?

This is the first time I have seen it be done in such a way that each section is solely and outright meant to form one "complete" list.

Maybe:
LittleSnitch_1-3 LittleSnitch_2-3 LittleSnitch_3-3

similar (but not identical) to #769

Closing as this is now supported in the data model. See "segmentNumber" here.

What is the correct formatting for segmentNumber ?? It seems like we have a issue on that in the build, as our combined NSFW for RFC:952 Is a compilation of 4 file with each 3 mirrors.

#2844

@porn-records I think you did it right in the PR. The id values in FilterListViewUrl.json just need to be unique.
