Hallo! I'm looking for a sponsor for gdal: Description: Geospatial Data Abstraction Library GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats that is released under an Open Source license. As a library, it presents a single abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats. The related OGR library (which lives within the GDAL source tree) provides a similar capability for simple features vector data. I know that it is rather unusual to package a library without being an official debian maintainer but gdal is a very important library necessary for example for some features of my package thuban [1] as well as for grass [2]. Furthermore gdal is used for many GIS-applications that ar not in debian. Paul Baker filed an ITP some time ago [3]. I got in contact with him and Alessandro who packaged a great part of the package that I present here. I spoke with both and they agree that I should take maintainership of gdal. You can find all package related files on ftp://ftp.intevation.de/users/silke/debian/gdal-1.2+cvs.031016/ Greetings, Silke [1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/thuban.html [2] http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/grass.html [3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2002/debian-devel-200206/msg01004.html -- Silke Reimer Intevation GmbH http://intevation.de/ FreeGIS http://freegis.org/
