Bug#386055: tasksel: Please add a GIS workstation task



Package: tasksel
Version: 2.54
Severity: wishlist

The Debian GIS subproject is working to package and integrated the
free GIS tools to make them easily available and ready for
professional use.  To make the tools easier to find, I believe it
would be useful if there were a GIS workstation task in tasksel.  Here
is a suggestion for such task.  It is based on the list of packages
available in the Debian GIS wiki,
<URL:http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl>, and a sanity
check on the Debian GIS mailing list.

Please include this task in a future version of tasksel.  I'm not
quite sure which relevance and section to use.  Please change it if
you know better values.  The package order is also fairly random.  If
it is better to keep it sorted, please sort it.

I'm sure we will adjust this list as the Debian GIS project advances,
but please accept it as an initial draft. :)
