[DebianGIS-dev] Changes in Debian GIS Blend stuff
Hi, yesterday I worked on the Debian GIS Blends stuff because I was bored by the single task layout to move every GIS related application into one single task gis-workstation. When I was read with the restructuring I realised that I do not have any commit permission to pkg-grass SVN (formerly we used svn:external property in Blends SVN to point to this location, but commiting does not work that path). Because I was in a hurry to get the new tasks rendered on the web page I decided to cut this rope and move everything directly to svn://svn.debian.org/blends/projects/gis Please do NOT consider this as a rude tackover but just a workaround to enable me doing a presentation here at DudesConf 3 in A Coruña. I would completely agree to move the stuff back if you would like to maintain the files in pkg-grass - I was just afraid that things might be delayed more than possible until I get commit permissions. Just tell me what you think is the best solution. The poplicy for the Blends SVN is: Every DD has commit permissions - so feel free to work there or ask me for commit permissions if you are no DD. Now to the actual changes (just see [1] for the realisation). First I need to say: I'm no GIS expert at all - just got a new GPS device at christmas and started with some OSM mapping. So it sounded reasonably to me to have a task gis-gps to handle any GPS data and hardware. Moreover I introduced a gis-osm task featuring all OSM related packages. There might be a reason to have also a gis-osm-server task because not all the packages seem to be relevant for simple mappers. I made good experiences with a development task in other blends and so there is a gis-devel task featuring alls the libGIS-RELATED-dev packages. I moved all R related packages from gis-workstation to gis-statistics - I'm definitely sure that there are more GIS relevant R packages in Debian currently. Please add more (in case you consider the gis-statistics task reasonable). I also invented a gis-tools task where I tried to move all smaller tools from gis-workstation which might be useful for people doing GIS work without using the large killer apps like GRASS. This choice of mine is surely questionable - just take it as suggestion and feel free to change it back or draw it into another direction. The last split up from gis-workstation is gis-web where I tried to assemble all packages which provide some addition to webservers. As above I have no idea whether this choice makes really sense - just feel free to enhance my first scratch work. You can change all the tasks by checking out svn://svn.debian.org/blends/projects/gis/trunk/tasks and edit the files there. The principle is simple - if you need further documentation you can find it in the Paper about Blends[2]. You are always invited to join the Blends mailing list[3]. Kind regards Andreas.
