Re: [DebianGIS] Should osgeo4w be included in the FOSS4G2008 live CD?



Hamish,
1. Is the software linked below stable and production ready now, with no testing required? 2. How much space does it take up? (I'm not sure how much space we have left on the image. One of the techies might be able to answer this) 3. Are you prepared to add the packages yourself, and write any readme.html files or similar before Friday?

If so, then we might be able to get it on the disk. But as I don't have experience with these tools I'd be hesitant to include them (because of our short timeline) without hearing a strong chorus of support from existing packaging techies.

It would be great to include a software/ directory on the DVD with both
MS-Windows and MacOSX folders containing binary installers for all the
favourite FOSS4G apps, FWTools etc. and whatever support software is
needed.

e.g. William Kyngesburye's Geo-Frameworks+Apps for Mac:
