Hello,

One important point for OTB on OSGeoLive :

We hit a wall with the gdal 1.8 package provided in ubuntugis-unstable repository : it breaks TIFF support for applications linking to both gdal and tiff, which is the case for OTB, making the OTB packages pretty much useless.

This issue has been discussed on gdal-dev ML.
The debian packager of gdal is working on a solution to this known problem, but it is not yet out. The solution we chose for the OTB debian package is to patch the gdal source package, and provide a patched binary package on the orfeotoolbox-nightly PPA (here : https://launchpad.net/~otb/+archive/orfeotoolbox-nightly <https://launchpad.net/%7Eotb/+archive/orfeotoolbox-nightly>). For those interested, the patch is here : http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB-DevUtils/file/tip/Packaging/ubuntu/gdal/do_not_disable_GTIFF_for_otb

It is harmless : it's only aim is to recover the behavior of gdal < 1.8, where the TIFF driver was still registered, even in case of conflicts with the gdal internal Tiff version.

When the release will be out in a few days, we will copy this binary over to the orfeotoolbox-stable-ubuntugis PPA, which is used during the OSGeo Live installation procedure.
In particular, it will spread out as the default gdal on the OSGeo Live CD.
I don't like it a lot, but we don't have a better solution coming to mind.
Meanwhile, I'm confident about the fact that the patch has no functionnal impact on gdal.

What is your opinion ?

Hi,

concerning otb, the library is in the release candidate process. The release 3.10 is planned for the 06/30. I hope that Ubuntu Natty packages will be available just after that (orfeotoolbox-nightly packages already work on Natty : https://launchpad.net/~otb/+archive/orfeotoolbox-nightly <https://launchpad.net/%7Eotb/+archive/orfeotoolbox-nightly>).

I'll send more informations at the end of the week.

Regards,

Manuel

    semi-bumped now. a build-checklist.txt in svn might help ..

    still propagating packaging errors in this one leaving the
    system in a broken state...


    5.0a2 quick build log review:

    everyone:
    ${CURLY} brackets do nothing to protect the command line from
    spaces and special chars within variables. Use "double quotes"
    for that.


    geoserver:
    FIXME: 'export FOO=bar' is a Bashism and will not work with
    Ubuntu's #!/bin/sh  (which is dash)

    geomajas:
    GeoMajas FIXME: Do not use 777 if at all possible.

    geonetwork:
    any way to make your 250mb package smaller?

    deegree, openjump, maptiler:
    FIXME: don't use wget for local files, just copy from local svn
    checkout:  cp ../app-conf/$FILE $DEST

    gvSIG:
    > mv: cannot stat `gvSIG19_new_features.tar.gz': No such file or
    directory
    etc.

    osm:
    temporary DNS trouble, now fixed?
    Static copy of Denver.osm.bz2 now stashed on OSGeo download
    server, note
    many times bigger than Barcelona, which may make the PostGIS DB
    huge?

    Sahaha:
    a number of errors, e.g.:
    > DataError: value too long for type character varying(64)
    > OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'applications/eden/compiled'

    Ushahidi:
    > ... Ushahidi already downloaded
    > tar: A lone zero block at 17095

    (probably want to do a timestamp check with the wget, but -N and
    -O are
    mutually exclusive)

    > ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

    there is no root password. try operating as another user name.

    script is very verbose, making it hard to pick out real error
    messages.

    mapguide:
    .debs need to be updated for Ubuntu 11.04, ie to not depend on
    odbcinst1debian1
    Uses a disproportionate amount of disc space (>375mb). please
    find ways to slim it down.

    [after this all other deb installs are broken for the rest of the
    ISO build..]

    ossim:
    wants libgdal1-1.7.0, but only 1.6.0 and 1.8.0 are available.
    -> rebuild for natty
    WARNING: wget -N timestamping does nothing in combination with -O.

    52nSOS:
    please shut off pgsql verbose mode & fix errors, if possible.

    otb:
    fails-- no packages for ubuntu/natty found in PPA.

    [after this even less of the apt system works...]


    disc space:
    can we safely uninstall linux-headers-2.6.38-8? (81.5mb)
    + linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic (10mb)
    (is building the proprietary nvidia driver a critical need?)
