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

connecting to the database.
