congrats. > A very nice new digitizing module also is functional and nearing > completion. Q: does it use v.edit or 'v.in.ascii format=standard' or ... ? If the latter, is there any accomodation for preparing a replacement for r.digit? (r.digit is just a interactive frontend to r.in.poly, who's ascii format is highly similar to 'v.in.ascii f=std'. I lean towards prefering that to v.digit+v.to.rast for directness/simplicity and category+label mangement reasons. > The wxgui is a fully functional replacement > for the venerable TclTk interface.

For any Debian users wondering when wx2.8 packages will exist, you can follow the action here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403237 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/114189/focus=115196 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/120296 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/122474 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/124238 Look for "freewx" projects at http://git.debian.org/ (active) http://alioth.debian.org/projects/freewx/ (inactive?)
