Sorry for the confusion, I meant more that packages _using_ maps may be merged / made consistent.
e.g. checking whats involved in software such as zygrib, which plots maps under weather maps, using OSM rather than shipping its own maps. WRT GSHHS I'm more concerned that packages are consistent. For my own work in climate, when modeling / post-processing we have programs using different versions of GSHHS, etc. leading to errors (inconsistent mapping of land/ocean transports, etc.). Differing sources of maps (GHHS / OSM / ?) will matter, but it should be ok as long as we can label which applications use which maps and don't mix. regards Alastair On 16/03/2015 14:15, Sebastiaan Couwenberg wrote: > Hi Alastair, > >> On related work, I've an outstanding TODO to merge several other map >> packages >> in Debian: >> >> https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScienceGshhsMaps >> >> A bunch of packages uses GSHHS maps, which should be merged.
