Thank you all for your comments -- Even: * I think the build system is easy to do. The library does not have any significant external dependencies so wrapping it into a circle of auto* was not my top priority. * I would of course be available to maintain the synchronization. If the library/driver would be co-hosted with gdal, I would not use the bitbucket as ticket system. In that case, sync will happen between the ogr/public version as public code (portability, interfacing, bug fixes) and internal development (updates wrt newer versions of the SOSI standard). It remains to see which side is "upstream".
Mateusz: * I understand your concern. I'm not a native speaker of Norwegian myself. Translation however would break the sync, even if I had the resources to do it. * I am also a bit worried about the public version of the driver being neglected in a few years if it does not manage to create an user base to create pressure on the authorities who should be publishing it. ;) Frank: * Fyba is a 500KB standalone binary from a gcc build, or roughly 30K lines including extensive comment blocks on every method. Sorting out the most common commenter ids gets me to 15K lines. * Depending on your perspective, SOSI may be a niche format, but it is also a national standard used by most geospatial actors of an European country on a daily basis. They just haven't got to see it integrated in their open source utilities. So much for my arguments. ;) I'll leave the decision to you. I'll be happy to provide the support I can provide to either a standalone or an integrated library. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/OGR-Driver-for-Norwegian-SOSI-standard-tp5282431p7007514.html Sent from the GDAL - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
