I suggest to drop it now that transition to 64bit only is clear. citing Jürgen's mail >It also has PDAL 2.2 which is required for native support of point clouds in >QGIS - something that you find lacking in the "old" OSGeo4W repository and in >turn in the current standalones. maybe also a good time to switch to pdal powered modules in GRASS and drop the liblas powered modules. now to more challenging issues with a switch in short/mid/long term to the new built OSGeo4W 64bit environment: >Also note that it now only has one version of Python - namely 3.9, which >doesn't support Windows 7 anymore. are we already python 3.9 ready? >Other updates include Qt 5.15, GDAL 3.2, >PROJ 7.2 <= just have a look at http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/testing/x86_64/release/proj/proj-data/ proj-data-1.4-1.tar.bz2 558M <= !!! in PROJ7, there is a complete change how PROJ related/needed data is handled: (1) dynamically via https://cdn.proj.org/ (3) via a revamped proj-data with file size of more than 500 MB * will GRASS be ready to handle it dynamically via CDN? * including more than 500MB data into our standalone installer will explode our used NSIS system, it won't work; maybe we have to switch also to a MSI based system or another system all in all, quite a lot of work will be needed to provide standalone/OSGeo4W winGRASS. ----- best regards Helmut -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/GRASS-PSC-f4051248.html _______________________________________________ grass-psc mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-psc
