Hi Julien,

I'm sure Orfeo will be a welcome addition, especially with the developer team committed to ongoing maintainance.

I'm happy to answer any packaging questions I'm able to, fire when ready. I admit the packaging instructions take a few passes to understand. (http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/PackagingInstructions)

Someone will need to create a user for you so you can upload to the repository. Speaking of which, can someone please provide a list of o4w admins and their coverage of their responsibilty so we know who to ask for what? thanks! I started a page for this at http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/CoreTeam

cheers,

matt wilkie

Hi all,

Following a recent announcement [1], the Orfeo Toolbox can now be
interfaced with Qgis in an easily maintainable way.

I compiled the set of necessary binaries as an osgeo4w-friendly package,
that is, a ZIP which can be unpacked in OSGeo4W installation tree and
provide support for OTB within QGis.
As said in the mail, the package can be found at [2], and is nightly
generated (starting today). It is a set of DLL, plus a Python 2.5 module
(swig generated).

It is not linked to QGis directly (the glue is in python), but uses a
lot of libraries/software already available in OSGeo4W (gdal, tiff,
geotiff, jpeg, swig, pyhon25...). The same binaries can be used with
both the release and the dev version of Qgis.

The ultimate solution for providing those binaires to our windows users
would be a real integration into OSGeo4W.
I would very much like to hear the opinion of people here about this.
If the community is OK to proceed for such integration, then we can
further study how it can be done cleanly (I'm a newbie to OSGeo4W
packaging, so I have several questions...). We also have other
OTB-related softwares that would strongly benefit an integration in OSGeo4W.
We, the Orfeo Toolbox developer team, would be of course available for
maintaining the packages in the long term.

Looking forward to read your opinion,
Julien
