[OSGeo-Discuss] Question about MacOS X packages
Hi, I'm now wondering what is the correct way to add a MacOS X Package to the OSGeoLive DVD ? Indeed as presented here [1] we get a simple MacOS X installer to easily deploy ZOO-Kernel and OGR base vector operations services. Si I would like to add the package to the list of available software for MacOS X but I don't know the way to go. Hope to hear from you, best regards, [1] http://zoo-project.org/trac/wiki/ZooDocumentation/ZOOKernel/MacOSX_installation Gérald Fenoy gerald.fe...@geolabs.fr ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does osgeo provide infrastructure for non-incubating projects?
Thanks both for your answers and sorry for the delay (I've been traveling). Steve, sorry, I think I haven't expressed myself clear at all. I'm interested in osgeo as organization but I'm afraid the project is not mature enough to enter incubation. I think I could find free hosting easily, but I wouldn't like to migrate some time later again. Frank, I've read Project Evaluation Criteria and, in my opinion, we are able to fulfill all the requirements in short term except of substantial user/developer community. Recently, some organizations got interested in helping to develop the project which *could* solve the problem of communities. I can only foresee two problems. First, I don't know if osgeo may be interested in a GIS specific language even if it ever matches the requirements. Second, for its very nature, I don't think it is possible to create a big developer community because the used technologies are not easy to learn, but I hope I'm wrong. If these problems are not such, we would be *very grateful* to use an osgeo mailing list. We could keep the paid infrastructure while the project evolves and it becomes clear if it can enter incubation or not. Hope I've been clear enough. I find it difficult to explain the problem so don't hesitate to ask for anything you don't understand. Best regards.
