Hi all, |
2 |
I'm new on this list, so I quickly present myself. I currently work |
3 |
for the entreprise 01map which is specialised on providing a Geographic |
4 |
Information System solution, this is done principaly for the french |
5 |
administrations (as for exemple the Environment Ministery |
6 |
http://carto.languedoc-roussillon.environnement.gouv.fr/ in french only |
7 |
sorry ... ). We are especialy involved in the postgis development for |
8 |
which we contribute (Gerald Fenoy and Jean David Techer are from |
9 |
01map), but also with all the dependanced projects as for instance : |
10 |
mapserver. |
11 |
|
12 |
I would like to know if there is any GIS team (not for Gentoo |
13 |
Installation System but for Geographic Information System ...) or any |
14 |
effort on that way ? |
15 |
|
16 |
Indeed, I could see that the postgis ebuild is so old, we currently |
17 |
work with the 1.0 version but the postgis ebuild is for 0.7 version ... |
18 |
I've also seen that there is some purposes to include the postgis |
19 |
directly into the postgresql ebuild, but do you know that the futurs |
20 |
versions (it's already the case for the cvs one) don't need at all the |
21 |
postgresql sources to compile it ? |
22 |
|
23 |
Futhermore the postgis ebuild is used but there is no geos ebuild in |
24 |
portage (but I've already made it too) so postgis will be less usefull |
25 |
as it could be with it (geos provide functionalities for using all |
26 |
known projections systems). |
27 |
|
28 |
With our "postgis developers" team we have also made an update of the |
29 |
qgis ebuild to work with the lastest postgis version (which has the |
30 |
geos support) ebuild we also made. |
31 |
|
32 |
To conclude I give you the tree of our work on the Geographic |
33 |
Information System : |
34 |
|
35 |
dev-db/postgis |
36 |
dev-db/postgis-cvs |
37 |
sci-libs/geos |
38 |
sci-geosciences/mapserver |
39 |
sci-geosciences/cartoweb (which use the webapp-config system) |
40 |
|
41 |
here is the list of the ebuilds developped by others contributors of |
42 |
our independant project : |
43 |
|
44 |
sci-geosciences/qgis |
45 |
|
46 |
|
47 |
I hope that you've understand my query to create a new team specialy |
48 |
involved on developping and *maintaining* more GIS relatives ebuilds. |
