[Freegis-list] GIS packages for Fedora Core 2

[Silke Reimer]

Hallo!

Some weeks ago I announced some Fedora Core 2 packages (among them
GRASS, gdal and Thuban). I would like to inform you that they have
now been registered on the official fedora-site [1] and are
undergoing a qualitiy assurance by the Fedora QA-team. Hopefully
they will be part of official Fedora Core releases in the future.
You can follow the progress on Fedora bugzilla (see the list of
links below).

All packages can be downloaded from our FTP-Site [2] and its FreeGIS
mirror [3]. There are three subdirectories: SPEC, SRPMS, and RPMS.
They are containing Specfiles, source rpms and binary rpms
respectively. Some of the Specfiles are already included in the
corresponding projects others will probably included in the near
future. I would appreciate to get any comment, suggestion etc. from
your side.

GRASS, Thuban and gdal are now based on the shapelib and proj
packages by David M. Kaplan and Steve Arnold who did register their
packages in November and December 2003. Their status on Fedora.us
can also be viewed on Fedora bugzilla. Thuban additionally needs
python-sqlite.  Since this is not yet part of Fedora, I announced it
myself. My package is based on the package by Dag Wieers [4]. Thanks
Dag!

I set up a page which summarizes all the information about the
projects including the actual links to the packages.  This page will
is located at our homepage [5].

Many greetings,

        Silke
