No objection. Although it would be nice to keep gmt in the PPA and part
of the gdal rebuilds so users can install the gmt package if they want it.

For each OSGeo-Live development cycle, please request for the latest
(stable) version to be included, and review the docs for that version.

As mentioned in the alpha1 annoucement:

"
 We are still reviewing and adding projects, so please keep sending us
 reviews and feedback. The list of projects will be finalized when we
 reach beta stage.
"

There may still be time to include 18.6.

Ask on this (live-demo) list for one of the packagers to backport the
desired version if it's newer than what's included in Ubuntu xenial.

Either myself, Angelos, or someone else on this list can help create the
backported package for you.

gpsprune is a fairly simple package, its libmetadata-extractor-java
dependency requires the most attention due its tendency to break the
reverse dependencies. But since 2.7.2 is already in xenial and no newer
version is included in the OSGeo-Live PPA there is nothing to worry
about. Thanks to JOSM no longer requiring newer versions.

Rebuilding packages is easy, the biggest hurdle is learning the Debian
packaging tools which is not that difficult either. Knowing where to
find the appropriate documentation is half the work.

Changes between 18.3 and 18.6 include:

"
 New with version 18.6
 =
 The following fix was made since version 18.5:
   - Change of URL for SRTM tiles, and recognise when downloaded file
 is too small to be valid

 New with version 18.5
 =
 The following fixes and additions were made since version 18.4:
   - When points have no altitudes, send them to a GPS with altitude 0
 (prevents weird values when reading back)
   - When points are not displayed on map, still colour the lines
 according to the selected scheme
   - When points all have crazy values, don't hang the profile chart
   - When images can't be fetched from the internet, don't delete
 expired cache images
   - Translation updates to es, uk, ru, cz

 New with version 18.4
 =
 The following fixes and additions were made since version 18.3:
   - Updated GPSBabel format descriptions (thanks, Juergen!)
   - Removed calls to the retired opencaching.com site (thanks, Garmin!)
"

There are some menu changes that may affect the docs, but it doesn't
look like much will need to be updated for the changes since 18.3.

I've created the backported package for you, the source is in the same
git repository as the Debian package:

 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/gpsprune.git/log/?h=osgeo/11.0

And the packages are available in my OSGeo-Live staging PPA:

Rebuilding the latest gpsprune package from Debian for OSGeo-Live is
quite trivial, see for example the git-buildpackage workflow documented
in the Debian GIS policy:

 https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html#git-backports

Or just rebuild the source package downloaded via tracker.debian.org
with pdebuild in a cowbuilder chroot with the OSGeo-Live nightly PPA
enabled.

Updating the package now requires the docs to be reviewed again for
18.6. If the package was updated first the docs needed to be updated
only once.

Bas

Shouldn't gpsprune be upgraded to 18.6 and the overview & quickstart
updated to reflect the latest version?

You need to read Danes email better:

"
 Because I am the individual that added Mapnik to osgeo-live originally
 I would prefer you remove it.
"

OSGeo-Live is not thriving because there isn't enough participation of
the people involved in the projects included in OSGeo-Live.

If projects want to be included in OSGeo-Live for its use in workshops
and the like, they will need to contribute to the maintenance of their
project in OSGeo-Live.

Since Dane requested removal, I don't think that further discussion is
required. The case for removal is clear.

Mapnik is also a beast to build, so if no applications depend on it, it
can safely be removed.

Both nik4 & tilestache have libmapnik in their dependency chain via
python-mapnik. For tilestache it's a recommended dependency and hence
not strictly required, nik4 does have a strict dependency.

nik4 can be considered for removal from OSGeo-Live.

Release early, release often. Keep momentum by starting to work on the
next release after the most recent final release.

But that assumes there are people willing to do the work, which doesn't
seem to be the case in sufficient quantities. So don't release until
there is sufficient manpower to make a good one.

What people do at Berkeley has little to no relevance in the context of
OSGeo-Live which is built on Ubuntu, and Debian by extension.

This causes the Debian Python packaging policy to have a significant
effect on the python packages included in OSGeo-Live.

It only going to see more adoption now that Ubuntu has switched the
default Python to 3.x since xenial.

The Debian Python Policy also documents the use of Python 3 for programs
when they support it, and recommend to not package them for Python 2.
Libraries should always be packaged for Python 3, and when applications
only support Python 2 should the library be packaged for Python 2 as well.

 https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-python3.html

With QGIS 3 switching to Python 3, adoption in the geospatial ecosystem
will be pushed forward too.

Bas

I'd argue for dropping a CLA, it only raises the barrier to contribute

See also: http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2014/06/09/do-not-need-cla.html

I've recently retracted my pull requests to the protobuf project
because they require a CLA before considering the contributions. If
you require me to sign a legal document before accepting my patches, I
choose not to contribute to your project. The effort is simply not
worth it.


Thanks Bas for the URL. After reading it I agree that we don't want
contributors to sign a CLA, but rather have an "inbound=outbound"
process, where developers formally confirm they  agree to the project's
Open Source license.
I'm hoping we can make our messy "confirm to an archived email list"
process cleaner by allowing contributors to use a web page instead,
which is linked to their git id, and can be used to ensure only
developers who have confirmed they agree with the license get their git
code merged.


This is in practice no different. It still raises the barrier to 
contribute. Is OSGeo-Live in such a luxurious position that people are 
eager to contribute no matter the hoops they need to jump through before 
they can contribute? Obvious it is not, and any additional hoop 
decreases the number of people willing to contribute.


By submitting a PR or sending patches to the mailinglist, the license is 
implicitly the same as the project. Unless code from another project 
(with a different license) is used, not specific extra steps should be 
required. If code from another project with a different but compatible 
license is submitted, that fact should be documented in the submission.


I've never sent the "I confirm that my contributions to OSGeo-Live will 
be compatible with the OSGeo-Live license guidelines at the time of 
contribution" message for my contributions to OSGeo-Live and those 
changes were happily accepted. Those contributions were implicitly under 
the same license as the project.


Adding a sentence to the contributor guidelines along the lines of "By 
contributing to OSGeo-Live you confirm that your contributions are 
conform the license guidelines at the time of contribution." should be 
sufficient. The act of contributing confirms license compliance, no 
additional action required not even a click on a CLA form.


Can you explain why developers should explicitly confirm they agree with 
the OSGeo-Live licenses before getting they contributions accepted?

Bas

[Live-demo] Comparing package versions between OSGeo-Live, Debian & Ubuntu

[Sebastiaan Couwenberg]

To get an overview of the package versions in OSGeo-Live, Debian &
Ubuntu I've whipped up a script to compare the versions between the
three repositories.

For Debian & Ubuntu the public UDD (Ultimate Debian Database) instance
is used, and for OSGeo-Live the Sources file is downloaded from the PPA
repository. The script and example text output (JSON is also supported)
are attached (in compressed form because the initial email was too big).

Only packages included in the Debian GIS Blends metapages and those in
the OSGeo-Live PPA are considered. The report can be used to plan which
packages to update for the next OSGeo-Live development cycle.

Kind Regards,

Bas

Is there demand for this?

If the workshop installers are actively maintained it can be beneficial,
but I fear that after the initial creation they will quickly become
unmaintained.

[Live-demo] QGIS & osgEarth 2.7

[Sebastiaan Couwenberg]

QGIS upstream has recently disabled the globle plugin when built with
osgEarth 2.7 [0] because the initial changes were not sufficient to
support anything newer that 2.5 [1]. Proper support for 2.7 has been
merged recently too [2], but has not been backported to 2.14 LTR.

Assuming you want to stick to QGIS 2.14 for OSGeo-Live 10.0, and want to
have a working globe plugin in QGIS, downgrading the osgearth package in
the nightly PPA to 2.5 is needed. You cannot rely on the 2.5 package in
xenial because it needs to be rebuilt with GDAL 2.1.0 in the nightly PPA.

Those are just the minimum version required to build the package. These
version constraints were mostly added to ensure postgis was built with
at least that version as part of past GDAL transitions. These are
requirements for building the Debian packages, not the minimum
requirements for PostGIS (which requires >= 1.8.0 and recommends 1.9+).

If you check the actual dependencies of the binary packages built from
the postgis source package, you'll see that it requires the library
packages for GDAL 2.x:

 $ apt-cache show postgis | grep ^Depends
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgdal20 (>= 2.0.1), libgeos-c1v5 (>=
3.4.2), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.14.0),
liblwgeom-2.2-5 (>= 2.0.0), libpq5

 $ apt-cache show postgresql-9.5-postgis-2.2 | grep ^Depends
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libgdal20 (>= 2.0.1), libgeos-c1v5 (>=
3.5.0), libjson-c2 (>= 0.11), liblwgeom-2.2-5 (>= 2.2.0), libpcre3,
libproj9 (>= 4.9.0), libsfcgal1 (>= 1.2.0), libxml2 (>= 2.7.4),
postgresql-9.5, postgresql-9.5-postgis-scripts

As mentioned before, kalxas built the GDAL 2.1.0 packages for OSGeo-Live
and subsequently built the other packages in the nightly repository with
it. So all packages in the nightly PPA are using GDAL 2.x already. Fiona
includes a bunch of patches from the upcoming 1.7 release to
successfully build with GDAL 2.x, the other packages already have
support for it.

Bas

Package dsc files are generated so changing them makes no sense. You can
discuss changes to the netcdf source packages on the debian-gis list [0]
and/or file a bugreport for the package in question [1].

Define "trace".

If you're looking for the interdependencies I would parse the Packages
files from the PPA and analyse the Depends fields of the packages in
question.

Because I have coordinated the recent netcdf transitions, I have a
pretty good idea of the dependency chain.

netcdf-c (netcdf source package) is at the bottom, everything else
depends on that. netcdf-cxx-legacy, netcdf-cxx, netcdf-fortran &
netcdf4-python all require the netcdf package to build. netcdf in turn
requires hdf5 to build.

To help prepare transitions, I run a transition tracker [2] using the
ben package [3] also used for Debian [4] & Ubuntu [5]. ben visualizes
the reverse dependencies for packages and marks them as good or bad
based on the regular expressions applied to the fields in the Packages
files (usually just Depends).

Convenient != Appropriate

You should file bugreports in the tracker for the repository in
question, in this case UbuntuGIS/OSGeo-Live.

If you verify that the issue is also present in the packaging maintained
by the Debian GIS team, you can contact the Debian GIS team via the
mailinglist or file a bugreport for the package in question.

That looks like the python-netcdf4 source package from OSGeo-Live 9.5,
it is maintained by The Mer  according to its
control file.

It is not maintained by the Debian GIS team, the netcdf4-python package
is maintained by the Debian GIS team and included in Debian & Ubuntu. It
does not have these issues.

Regarding NetCDF & Python, only the python{,3}-netcdf4 packages built
from the netcdf4-python source package are actively maintained. The
python-netcdf package built from the python-scientific package as used
by bin/install_jupyter.sh is very problematic. It does not support newer
NumPy versions and has been broken in Debian for quite a while and has
recently been removed from Debian because it was keeping the old NetCDF
4.1.3 packages in Debian unstable (due to being unable to build with the
newer versions). [6]

These issues with python-scientific also caused it to be removed from
Ubuntu xenial, so bin/install_jupyter.sh needs to be updated to not
require python-netcdf any more.

The osm2pgrouting packages has just been accepted into the Debian archive.

 https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/osm2pgrouting

It will take a few more hours to appear on the mirrors. And will be
included along with pgrouting in the next stable release.

The OSGeo-Live builds are encouraged to start using the packaging from
Debian GIS for the next OSGeo-Live release.

Filing a bug for the pgrouting package is the way to contribute changes
if you're not a member of the Debian GIS team.

 https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

Joining the Debian GIS team is recommended for any one who wants to
actively contribute to the packaging, it get you commit access to the
source package git repositories.

It looks like the pgRouting PPA is not packaged automatically, is that
the "packaged automatically" you mention? That looks like the same
manual process as done to update the pgrouting package in Debian.

I've used the packaging from the OSGeo-Live PPA and imported that into
the git repository for use within the Debian GIS team:

 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/osm2pgrouting.git

The packaging has been updated to current best practices, and uploaded
to unstable where it's in the NEW queue awaiting review by the Debian
FTP masters.

The package names in the first column are links to the Package Tracker:

 https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pgrouting

This is gives a nice overview of the versions in Debian and links to the
packaging repository, upstream homepage, various QA tools, etc.

You can create an account on the tracker, and subscribe to notifications
for various events specific to the package like bugreports and new uploads.

osm2pgrouting is indeed not packaged for Debian yet. The packaging
created for OSGeo-Live is a good starting point. The source packages can
be imported in a git repositories suitable for Debian package
maintenance (using `gbp import-dscs` [0]).

OSGeoLive uses the standard Ubuntu package repositories and pulls
additional packages from its own and other PPAs:

 https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/tree/master/sources.list.d

The osm2pgrouting packages in the PPA are available on Launchpad:

https://launchpad.net/~osgeolive/+archive/ubuntu/release-9.5/+sourcepub/6184209/+listing-archive-extra

I'll use those packages to populate the git repository for use within
the Debian GIS team to get the package into shape for inclusion in
Debian and Ubuntu itself. I'd like your help to maintain these packages
in Debian and Ubuntu, you're free to chose your level of involvement
from none to doing all the packaging work in addition to your upstream
development. Keeping the pgrouting packaging updates has so far been
easy, and it don't expect osm2pgrouting to be any different.

You're very welcome to (help) maintain the osm2pgrouting packaging
within the Debian GIS team where most other source packages included in
OSGeo-Live are maintained.

The Debian GIS team policy documents the packaging workflow (although
lacks a section for backports and no-change rebuilds for Ubuntu, that's
still TODO):

 https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/

Specifically the 'Starting a new package' section:

 https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html#git-new-package

You need to modify the packaging template for osm2pgrouting accordingly.

Also consult the linked documentation in the 'Essential readings'
section, especially the 'New Maintainer's Guide' is helpful the get
started with packaging:

 https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/index.html#readings

I'm happy to help you maintain the osm2pgrouting packaging, as I'd like
to see more people actively contributing to the packages they care about.

Kind Regards,

Bas

It shouldn't, but if it does you can change the java alternatives back
to openjdk-7 with the update-java-alternatives utility [0] to switch the
alternatives for all JRE executables not just /usr/bin/java.

 # update-java-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64

You should pass JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 to
Whitebox to have it use the non-default JRE and leave the other
applications to use the default JRE configured in the alternatives system.

Please ignore the Ubuntu Java documentation [1], it says to use

update-java-alternatives.

For GeoPackage support you're missing GDAL 2.0 and SpatiaLite 4.3.0 at
least.

This seems like a good compromise.

Cameron has some good arguments, but is a bit too strict wrt criteria
for acceptance. It's difficult to balance keeping high standards, and
not demotivating your volunteers with strict enforcement.

I'm in favour of this proposal because it seems to allow both parties to
gain from this, without risking adverse effects to the quality of
OSGeo-Live.

 Based on Bas' comment, I sounds like we need to consider either dropping
 Grass back to version 6
 
 ... hopefully just a joke :)

In Debian it's not a joke. GRASS 7 is still in experimental because it
breaks the QGIS plugin. There was strong user demand to not break the
QGIS GRASS plugin that convinced me to not move it out of experimental
before the QGIS issue is fixed.

I was a bit disappointed that it required monetary incentive to update
the QGIS GRASS plugin via the crowdfunding campain. An unfortuntate
consequence of the user base not possessing the skills to contribute the
GRASS 7 changes I guess.

 or increasing QGIS to 2.10 on our next OSGeo-Live 9.0.

 Any comments on the viability of moving QGIS to 2.10 on OSGeo-Live?
 
 Cameron:
 I don't think that the integration interface of QGIS (younger) with
 GRASS (32 years old now, co-founder of OSGeo) can dicate that
 OSGeo-Live be going back to GRASS GIS 6.

OSGeo-Live's role as a showcase of the best of breed open source
geospatial applications is a good reason to not be as conservative as
Debian and update QGIS to 2.10 along with GRASS 7.0.1.

Bas

 I had a look to backport gpsprune.
 
 It will also require a backport of libmetadata-extractor-java, which
 in turn will break josm, so that will need an update as well (which is
 probably a good idea, the version in trusty is old.
 
 But this requires also an update to jmapviewer (I have not yet
 looked further).

Just backport gpsprune (17.2-1) like I did for jessie-backports.
gpsprune (17.2-2~exp1) only has a patch for libmetadata-extractor-java
2.7.2.

gpsprune 18 is expected to include this patch, so it will need to be
reverted in future backports to not require the
libmetadata-extractor-java update.

I fully support meeting face 2 face @ FOSDEM. Last year I didn't manage

 I have also just been writing a proposal for the geospatial devroom

 but we could also opt for having a BoF meeting somewhere outside the
 devrooms (or even have a sprint on friday/monday?).

Your talk is a nice way to get the people from the teams in the same
room, and we can continue the discussion in the hall if it exceeds the

I'm also able to attend a sprint on Friday or Monday if the timing is
right, as I'll be traveling in and out of Belgium on those days.

This was fixed in spatialite-gui/1.7.1-5:

http://sources.debian.net/src/spatialite-gui/1.7.1-5/debian/changelog/

The spatialite-gui in the UbuntuGIS and OSGeo Live PPAs claims to be a

a rebuild of spatialite-gui/1.7.1-4 which does not contain the bug fix:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/176637510/spatialite-gui_1.7.1-2_1.7.1-5~trusty1.diff.gz

Rebuilding the spatialite-gui/1.7.1-5 from the Debian GIS git repository
for OSGeo Live updating it to version 1.7.1-5~trusty2 should fix the issue.
