as far as I know, UbuntuGIS just inherits Debian's gmt package, and fwiw unless bugs/wishes get pushed upstream to DebianGIS, we don't know about them and they don't get actioned. (for all I know they have been, just sayin'..) what's the URL to your comment? > My problem is with GMT.

I think OpenCPN is the place to push that next. > V4.5.2 only supports GSHHS v2.0.2. GSHHS is now > at 2.1.0, and I can't find a copy of 2.0.2 > anywhere to get the high& full resolutions. If it helps, GRASS's v.in.gshhs addon module supports 2.1.0, and you can extract/export to shapefile or whatever GMT-supported format. I've got version 1.10 kicking around if you want it. Markus Neteler or Markus Metz might still have a copy of 2.0.x somewhere as they were the ones working on that. or just email hawaii? http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/vector/v.in.gshhs hmmm, shapefiles of 2.1.0 are already at ftp://ftp.soest.hawaii.edu/pwessel/gshhs/ > GMT v4.5.3 supports the current GSHHS, but does > not compile into any structures compatable with > dependencies as built by Ubuntu packages. is that compiled within the debian package building framework (with debian patches applied), or straight from tarball in /usr/local/ ? what's the error? don't expect any action from debian on packaging the new GMT version until squeeze is out. (that's not to say that it won't/can't make it into experimental or ubuntugis's repo, but..) regards, Hamish _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
