Hi Bas,
thanks for the detailed insight about Debian packaging. I always suspected that
it's not really an easy task.
That is one reason why I actively keep out of binary distribution of all kinds.
The other reason is, that I do not
want to favor anyone. That wouldn't be fair.
I think the service I had in mind is OpenBuildService. Imho Debian based
distributions should have something
similar.
Anyway thanks to you and JaromÃr for actively maintaining my software. And thus
keeping outdated bug
report away from my mailbox. There are enough recent bugs. I just hunted down a
few today.
Regarding WMS/WMTS/TMS: I already had a look at the QGis code and was a bit
shocked about it's
complexity regarding WMS servers. Partly it looked a bit academically, as they
modeled the complete XML
specification into C++ structures. But on the other hand side you probably need
a full decoding to cope
with the specification madness of those protocols.
For QLGT I chose the GDAL approach to read a simplified XML file. But as most
users are not willing/able to
create such a file on their own it needs editorial work to maintain such files.
Therefor it would be much better to read in the capability sheets of WMS
servers. That's what I do for
WMTS support. But it's just a very limited subset. Implementing reliable
WMS/WMTS support is probably as
much of a task as writing QMapShack. Well maybe not as much, but it would need
persistence until it really
works reliably. It's definitely more work than I can currently do on top of the
normal development work.
Looks like we need another genius for that ;)
The next task will be to get Michael to QMapShack. After all it's his thread. I
hope I find some time this
weekend to convert these nasty distance overlay into tracks. Man, these
overlays are a real bad idea in
QLGT!
