Hello all
I enabled some (not yet all) of the Geospatial Integrity of Geoscience
Software (GIGS) tests [1] on the EPSGFactory class [2]. The GIGS tests
are defined by the providers of EPSG dataset and are implemented in
GeoAPI [3]. This added 641 tests to Apache SIS, which causes a sudden
increase at build #1796 in our "Test result" graph on Jenkins [4].
However the tests are skipped on Jenkins (they appear in yellow in the
"Test result" graph) because the EPSG dataset must be installed manually
for now. The EPSG dataset can not yet be installed automatically, since
we need resolution of LEGAL-183 [5] for that.
I have not yet written a documentation about how to install the EPSG
dataset manually. One open question is where to put the SQL Data
Definition Language (DLL) scripts that the users need to download. The
DLL scripts used by Apache SIS differ slightly from the scripts provided
by EPSG by using a more compact syntax and by indexing some columns used
by SIS queries. I think that we can not yet put those scripts in the SIS
source code repository because of LEGAL-183.
