Hallo! This week I built a new gdal package and tried to create a gdalgrass-package. You can find both on our ftp-server ([1] and [2]) I have to do some final tests for the gdal package before I can give it to my mentor but it would be great if somebody could check whether the libgdal1grass package works correctly. You will also need the grass-bin package (also located in [2]) to do this. So if you install grass-bin, libgdal1grass, libgdal1 you should be able to connect to a grass database. It would be nice if some of the qgis people could try this. Some remarks to the current packages: - Frank, I renamed the gdal_GRASS-library to libgdal1grass since this reflects the way libraries are handled in debian. I hope this is OK. The second issue is, that we probably need to build a development package for gdalgrass to get the package into debian. But since we still have no grass 5.7 package in debian there is no need to hurry. - I based my grass package on the last release from the grass homepage (together with some fixes to remove the dependencies from grass5.3). I am not informed about the current way how grass is build [3] but I would prefer to have a libgrass and a libgrass-dev package if possible. Thus it only needs a few files for building gdalgrass and not the full grass modules but only the libraries to connect to a grass database. So, I will do the final tests for gdal-1.2.5 to get it into debian. Then the next issue is to get grass 5.7 into debian and meanwhile I could finalize the gdalgrass package so that we can get into debian as soon as grass 5.7 is ready. Any further comments are welcome. Many greetings, Silke [1] http://ftp.intevation.de/users/silke/debian/gdal-1.2.5/ [2] http://ftp.intevation.de/users/silke/debian/gdalgrass-1.2.3 [3] I tried to look at [4] but there seems to be some error while connecting to the database.
