Hi Ralph, > Are you aware of Mathieu's work to also package GeoSpatial Open Source into > RPM repositories?
this is indeed very interesting! Just to clarify: we are working on RPM packaging specifically for Enterprise Linux (RHEL and derivatives such as CentOS), not on generic RPM packaging. Here is the main entry point describing this effort: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Enterprise_Linux_GIS I am actually primarily a Java developer/architect and I am working with GeoTools and GeoServer. I (and others, as I was told) would be very interested to have them properly packaged as RPMs. However, I have very little experience with Java RPM packaging (although I follow the JPP project for years: thanks for that to you all!), because in my organization the target runtime is OSGi and we use approaches which leverage OSGi versioning in order to integrate it with RPM deployment. Anyhow, I would be very interested to integrate your effort in the EL GIS repository, but we need to see how it can build upon base RHEL/CentOS and EPEL java packages (which are themselves mostly based on JPP if I'm not mistaken). Feel free to join the [email protected] list or to contact me directly.
