Because a moderately recent+stable version of Marble is packaged and tested along with KDE in Ubuntu/main already, there is in fact little to no actual packaging work required. It's just an apt-get install.
What we are in need of is three things: 1) an upstream contact to answer questions (check) and hopefully maintain the script if any non-automatic dependencies change with future Ubuntu releases (30 minutes a year effort) it's /very/ simple :) http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_marble.sh 2) tutorials / walk-throughs / documentation which could be used by an offline individual or in a classroom setting. So far we have this "getting started" text, but it only scratches the surface: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/descriptions/marble_description.html 3) sample data (check; the ubuntu package ships with 6 or so base maps in the marble-data package). unfortunately the Blue Marble dataset is too big for us (2002 version is ~ 1.2gb, or are you shipping the 2004(?) monthly images in your livedvd?) thanks, Hamish ps- it is my hope to also ship NASA World Wind on the September release. _______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
