[OSGeo-Discuss] redhat compatible mb-systems packages?
Understanding that poseidon linux on ubuntu is out there, and ready to use... have a need for mb systems on a redhat platforrm. 1. might there be an mb-systems/gmt package in one the redhat/fedora/debian standard, or gis projects repositories? been looking,ad it seems mb-systems is on the 'when we get around to it' list. 2. if not, would love to hear from someone who may (or may not) have had sucess with this operation. 3. For the folks on the fedora and debian gis projects, here ya go!0-tuit !!

I suggest touch base with Mathieu from the Enterprise Linux packaging efforts, who are packaging for redhat. I assume that between your two projects there will be much that you can share. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Enterprise_Linux_GIS Also, I've involved in the OSGeo-Live packaging effort, which has packaged 42 of the best geospatial open source applications on top of Ubuntu, including all the OSGeo incubated projects. Of particular interest would be our shell install scripts which you should be able to copy in order to create your rpm installers, and also the documentation which projects are creating for us which you will likely be interested in copying too. http://live.osgeo.org (for docs) http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc (our main wiki) http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project (provides links to our build scripts) Good luck, I'm interested to hear how things go.

Quantum does not like the Mid-mif files i have, and it appears GVsig does not take the format Everything open-source GIS seems to want CSV or shapefiles. Am i missing an import step in either package which would import these data in either format?
