Hi Martin,

grass-7.0 was named but ubuntu PPA keeps rejecting there was already a
version and new version with 7.0... had different contents and is getting
rejected. So i just renamed the dir name to grass70-7.2 where the source
code is. The package name contains grass70_7.2~svn.

but package name is grass70

I know its a problem. But is that a big issue?

I can remove the grass70 package from repo and name it grass7-7.0 and from

What do you think?

Do you see any issues with new package name?

2013-02-07 Thread Hamish
Others may and will have differing opinions, but mine is that
new users should stick with the stable released versions whenever
possible. Sure, there isn't the latest improvements in it, but
at least when you come across a problem and spend hours trying
to figure it out you won't get to the end to learn that it's a
bug in new  untested code and not just an investment in the learning curve. 
Sure, ride the bleeding edge if you like, just keep in mind the risk. ... And 
if you do use a development snapshot, please help with the process by reporting 
(and/or fixing) any bugs you do find.


thanks,
Hamish

 GRASS GIS: a multi-purpose  Open Source GIS.
 Environmental Modelling  Software

or else LaTeX gets upset.


 Abstract:
 The GIS software sector has developed rapidly over the last ten years.
 Open Source GIS applications are gaining relevant market shares in
 academia, business, and public administration. In this paper, we
 illustrate the history and features of a key Open Source GIS, the
 Geographical Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS). GRASS has
 been under development for more than 28 years, has strong ties into
 academia, and its review mechanisms led to the integration of well
 tested and documented algorithms into a joint GIS suite which has
 been used regularly for environmental modelling. The development is
 community-based with developers distributed globally.
 Through the use of an online source code repository, mailing lists
 and a Wiki, users and developers communicate in order to review
 existing code and develop new methods. In this paper, we provide a
 functionality overview of the more than 400 modules available in
 the latest stable GRASS software release. This new release runs
 natively on common operating systems (MS-Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac
 OSX), giving basic and advanced functionality to casual and expert
 users. In the second part, we review selected publications with a
 focus on environmental modelling to illustrate the wealth of use
 cases for this open and free GIS.


a great big thanks to Markus x2 and Martin for their patience and
persistence in this effort.

I've just downloaded my copy of GRASS (last night) and found this link:

very helpful.  Yes, the GRASS-Bible is great, too.  I've been reading this

 Even having someone on chat (I haven't had much luck on the grass irc
