Exactly. > Anyway,I would very much like to see the GRASS integration in QGIS becoming a > bit more smooth.

Sure it would. But that will happen with the next point release anyway (every month) and meanwhile there are also the nightlies. > Currently it is quite cumbersome, esp. on windows where I have to install two > QGIS versions (qgis and qgis-rel-dev, since "qgis" is the dependency of the > plugin and I cannot install only "qgis-rel-dev" alone). That's wrong. qgis-rel-dev contains the plugins. No need to install the plugins separately. > In future, avoiding to build the plugin against GRASS release candidates > (like Martin Landa suggested for Windows) could be a solution. Correct. There should be a stable version that will be around for a while. Another option is to switch to the standalone. There you get a snapshot of a working setup (unless grass gets updated in osgeo4w after the qgis packages are uploaded, but before the standalone installer could be made). > However, the drawback might be that, people might have to decide whether they > want to test the GRASS RC or keep the QGIS plugin dependencies.
