Re: [Qgis-developer] Strange behaviour in feature ids when editing PostGIS layer
Hi, well pgadmin sets table view in readonly mode if no Primary Key is defined.. That is more than a good practice from a DBA point of view, I wouldn't be against such a constraint for tables. We should raise some user warning when connecting to PG, so that users don't get confuzed Another point, what about views that do not have PK (but may be editable) ?

[Qgis-developer] info about plugin and processing toolbox

All the best. This seems to be a perpetually unresolved bug. Had this same issue upgrading to 2.6 on ubuntu systems. I'm not sure what needs to change in the Debian control file to do this right. The only dependency pulling in the python-qgis package is the Recommends by the qgis package. Because there is no version requirement the package is not forced to update when a new version is available in the archive, although this is usually what happens. Recommends is not as strict a dependency as Depends is, it allows to keep a package at the version as installed if it allows the upgrade of other packages explicitly depended upon. It probably makes sense to move the python-qgis Recommends to Depends and add a strict version requirement on the same binary version as is done for qgis-providers too. See the attached patch for example.

[Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.6.1: minidumps (2nd season)
Hi Giovanni and all devs, sorry for bothering again but, within the last 2weeks, I'm still experiencing minidumps. As suggested months ago (with 2.6-- solved), I tried to uninstall plugins in a progressive way but, this time, it's not simple to understand what can cause the crash due to the fact that it appears just sometimes in different situations (mainly quick zoom inout, or while loading sth). I don't know if it can be related to the multiple processor rendering. The project has: around 20 shapefile, Bing OpenLayer (mostly switched off) and around 50 tiff maps (mostly switched off). Probably similar to THIS ISSUE https://hub.qgis.org/issues/12077. Am I the only one? I'm working on W8.1 64bit and QGIS 2.6.1 from Osgeo 64bit.

[Qgis-developer] Mixing GPL-2 GPL-3 code in QGIS (official Debian package rejected by FTP master)
Hi all,
After 4 releases and a significant update of the debian/copyright file,
the Debian FTP masters have reviewed the qgis package and unfortunately
rejected it due to incompatibly licensed code.
I've included the FTP master response below, and it's also available in
the list archive:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-grass-devel/2015-February/027884.html
The dxf2shp_converter plugin contains code under GPL-2 (v2 only), GPL-2+
(v2 or later), MIT, LGPL-2+ and commercial licenses. This is documented
in the debian/copyright file as follows:

Comment: The code is heavily based on Christopher Michaelis' DXF to

This code is based on two other products:

The use of the GPL instead of LGPL by libpal is unfortunate, because the
GPL doesn't have the link exceptions. The use libpal in QGIS makes the
combination fall under the GPL-3+ which GPL-2+ license for QGIS allows,
but the GPL-2 licensed work do not.
See the GPL license compatibility matrix for an overview of the effects
of combining works under various GPL licenses:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility
To keep the combined work shipped in QGIS releases under the GPL-2+
license of GPL-3+ works needs to be changed. This requires all copyright
holders of the work to consent with the GPL-2+ license for their
contributions.
libpam is not the only problematic GPL-3+ work included in QGIS, a
couple of resources are too:
Files: resources/cpt-city-qgis-min/ds9/*
Copyright: 2010, William Joye
License: GPL-3+
Files: resources/cpt-city-qgis-min/grass/*
Copyright: 2009, GRASS Development Team
License: GPL-3+
Removing the dxf2shp_converter plugin from QGIS would get rid of the
problematic GPL-2 licensed works, but the inclusion of GPL-3+ works
still upgrades the GPL-2+ license for QGIS to GPL-3+.
Excluding the GPL-3+ resources doesn't look very problematic at first
glance, but I expect the removal of libpal to cause more breakage.
Besides the GPL-2/GPL-3 issue, one of the resources also has problematic
license terms:

Yes. There is no need ask permission first, or after.
My resources are free for personal or commercial arts works. Credit is
enough if possible, if there is a description. Note link to me not
necessary. But it is good, I can not see them otherwise, feel free
about it.

I submit them only DA yes, but you may use out of DA.

For distribute:
.
* I like sharing. So okay distributing my resources with credit,
for good, for free. But,
.
* Do not distribute my resource files without original preview.
('cause previews including credit. Credit is important point on
this situation.)
.
* Do not remove my name on it (preview). I saw some Turkish and
Russian forum sites delete artists names though, and they puting
their own cursed crappy logos on the previews. It is not sharing.
It is ...
