[OSGeo-Discuss] gdal-grass soname issue
Hi, I am trying to build gdal-grass package for fedora (as the gdal package need to be complied without grass support for bootstrapping) I could see that the shared libraries does not have a soname (DT_SONAME ELF field). If an executable is linked with a shared object which has a DT_SONAME field, when the executable is run the dynamic linker will attempt to load the shared object specified by the DT_SONAME field rather than the using the file name given to the linker. Is there any suggestions? or patches available already? I could not find one ..:( Thanks Viji ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Goals and schedule for OSGeo-Live 4.5
Cameron, OpenJUMP is on Version 1.4.2. I added this version to the spreadsheet. Do you know where I can download the Project Overview for OpenJUMP from last-year's DVD so I can see if it needs updates? Did all of the software on last year's DVD end up being packaged as a DEB? Landon From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Shorter Sent: Thursday, November 25, 2010 12:02 PM To: live-d...@lists.osgeo.org; OSGeo Discussions Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Goals and schedule for OSGeo-Live 4.5 We are starting to build the 4.5 OSGeo-Live http://live.osgeo.org DVD and want to hear from all included projects, translators, packagers, users, testers or others who wish to help improve OSGeo-Live. OSGeo-Live 4.5 will be released mid March 2011, ready for a number of big GeoSpatial conferences soon after. Focus on this next release will be on improved Quality and Translating documentation. Packaged projects - which version? Could each project please tell us which version is intended to be included. Status is maintained here https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNV lHMlBWSDhKLXchl=en_GB#gid=8 . Understanding what will, or will not change helps us coordinate reviewers and testers. We will be building from the Xubuntu 10.04 base, which is the same as last release. If you have a established, stable project which you would like included on OSGeo-Live, then please talk to us about it. Use Natural Earth dataset for examples In order to ensure consistency and reduce disk space used, we ask that, where appropriate, examples use the common Natural Earth dataset, as explained here http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Example_Datasets . Translations We expect to have main pages, Project Overviews and possibly OGC Standard Overviews translated into multiple languages for this next release. People have already translated much of the documentation into German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Greek. Could all projects please update your English Project Overviews as soon as you can to give translators enough time to translate. Please contact us if you are able to help with translation, or would like to translate a new language. The process is described here http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Translate . Quick Starts Half the packaged projects had Quick Starts written for the last release (4.0) and we'd like to see Quick Starts for all projects for the next release. One of our users has volunteered to review Quick Starts for usability and help projects capture screen grabs. This is a big job and we'd like to hear from anyone else who'd can help out. Again, could projects please update Quick Starts early to allow time for review and screen grabs. User Testing With ~ 50 applications to be packaged on the next OSGeo-Live, our core OSGeo-Live team have not had time to run all the Quickstart applications. We would really like some help. If you have very little experience with OSGeo software, then all the better, as you would be like a typical first time user of OSGeo-Live. Running this user testing is one of the best ways to become familiar with the breath of OSGeo Software available. If interested, please join the OSGeo List, and start running Quick Starts as soon as they have been completed by projects. OGC Standard Overviews The OGC have already written one page overviews http://live.osgeo.org/standards/standards.html for half the OGC standards and have committed to writing up the remaining standards for then next release. We will be calling on the standards community to help review these standards to ensure they are accurate, clear and understandable. Key Milestones 24 Jan 2011 Application Overviews ready for Review 31 Jan 2011 Application Feature Freeze 21 Feb 2011 Deliver to User Acceptance Test 14 Mar 2011 Final sent to printers .. full schedule http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdE1SYUN3YWJ2N1NpSUc zbW9IRWZNclEhl=en_GB About OSGeo-Live OSGeo-live is an XUbuntu http://xubuntu.org based distribution of Geospatial Open Source Software, available via a Live DVD, Virtual Machine and soon to be released USB.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: git like for geodata management
Some times ago the upper subject was discussed on the osgeo.org list. Now I'm able to announce the first release of the pgvs system I developed in the last few month. The aim of pgvs is to offer an option to edit PostGIS layers with CVS, SVN or GIT like support for concurrencing editing of geodata stored in a PostGIS Database. Additionally I've developed a QGIS plugin to support your work with pgvs in conjunction with QGIS. For further information have a look at: http://www.kappasys.ch/cms/index.php?id=23L=5 Regards Horst Düster ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: git like for geodata management
Hi Horst, In the example given in your website, you have 2 revisions, could you do more than 2 revisions? For example, in forest management we do plant, thin and harvest the forest for period of time (i.e 100 years planning period). You keep on editing planting, thinning and harvesting plans of the same forest. We like to see the revisions of these 3 plans (3 layers) e.g. 5 years, 10 years or 50 years, the edits that have been in these periods. Could we use this plugin for this purpose? I think this scenario also apply to agricultural management (planting and harvesting of crops) and animal range management - grazing. Thanks.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Re: git like for geodata management
Hi Horst, It looks nice and appreciate. Version control must be integral part of a geospatial data transacton management and so this is a good effort. Some more details need to be added to the conflict resolutions at the time of posting -- When a conflict is encountered, conflict presented to the user for resolution. At this stage, will all the individual transactions that make up the version be rolled back as well?
