[opensuse-buildservice] Re: new software in /repositories/Application:/Geo
Hi, Is it possible to enhance /Application:/Geo with more GIS software? I represent "GIS-LAB" (http://gis-lab.info/index-eng.html) - informal non-commercial community of GIS/RS (geoinformation systems/ remote sensing) specialists. We are trying do convince GIS specialists in Russia to use open-sourced software and data. The problem is that there is a lack of GIS and scientific software in such remarkable and useful distros like openSUSE and others, so it is very difficult to inexperienced user to install programs by themselves. This situation prevents users to move to the linux (and openSUSE in particular) from damn Windows. I'm asking you to include open-sourced software from the list below into the /repositories/Application:/Geo. When it will be done, openSUSE will get much more users which work is in the field of GIS all over the world. The list (not by preferences): 1. GEOS (http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/) 2. SpatiaLite (http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/) 3. gvSIG (http://www.gvsig.org/web/?id=1729&L=2&K=1) 4. uDig (http://udig.refractions.net) 5. GeoServer (http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Stable) 6. Kosmo (http://www.opengis.es/) 7. OpenJUMP (http://openjump.org) 8. OSSIM (http://www.ossim.org/OSSIM/Downloads.html) 9. JOSM (http://josm.openstreetmap.de/) 10. R (http://www.r-project.org/) I have seen some of the programs above in the openSUSE software wish-list and hoped that they will be added to repositories, but they were not... You are doing a grate job in openSUSE project I appreciate it and I really have a lot of fun! But the fun is over when you have to do your work and there is no required program in the repository. By the way. There is no QGIS in /Application:/Geo for openSUSE 11.3. Is this because of QGIS new release coming soon?

R is in the math category, i.e. obs://build.opensuse.org/science (pkg is R-base).
By the way. There is no QGIS in /Application:/Geo for openSUSE 11.3. Is this because of QGIS new release coming soon?
The BuildRequires are not satisfiable ("nothing provides fftw needed by grass, nothing provides libjpeg needed by grass") Pretty simple to fix actually; fftw -> fftw3, libjpeg -> libjpeg6/libjpeg8. But dear, I have to facepalm when looking at grass.spec. Those "Requires:" lines just hurt my eyes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Is there a problem with QGIS 1.4 integration into SUSE 11.3 or whith QGIS 1.5 (that is not officially released yet) or with both of them? And i believe that GRASS is only a module (one of the many) for QGIS. Is it possible to have QGIS in repository for now and GRASS-module later? Anyway I don't insist on including QGIS 1.4 in repository for SUSE 11.3, but it would be great to have QGIS 1.5 there shortly after it's official release (as for 11.2). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

GRASS is a complete GIS and is available for openSUSE. As is QGIS. Is your wish that these be available for 11.3 as they are for 11.2? You need to contact the repo maintainer and ask then to check the 11.2 box. If it is available for Factory, you might try that as Factory and 11.3 are very similar these days. I have a similar interest. We use high-end GPS in mobile data collection systems. Most people have a knee-jerk response to purchase some sort of ESRI product when faced with viewing data. My current task is getting a MapNik server set up in our systems. The data source will be shape files and/or OpenStreetMap data. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

Yury, In case you don't know, opensuse is truly a open distribution. Anyone can maintain those packages in their home OBS repo and submit them to Geo from there, and then submit them to factory (if appropriate). In fact, several people from GIS-LAB could work together to support your list in OBS and submit them to Geo directly. If typical Geo users need to keep their tools updated, there's not much purpose them being in the main release, just leave them in Geo..
