[GRASS5] GRASS Fedora Core 2 package

[Silke Reimer]

Hallo!

Some weeks ago I announced some Fedora Core 2 packages (among them
GRASS and gdal). I would like to inform you that they have
now been registered on the official fedora-site [1] and are
undergoing a qualitiy assurance by the Fedora QA-team. Hopefully
they will be part of official Fedora Core releases in the future.
You can follow the progress on Fedora bugzilla (see the list of
links below).

The GRASS package can be downloaded from our FTP-Site and its
FreeGIS mirror [2]. There are four subdirectories: SPEC, SOURCES,
SRPMS, and RPMS.  They are containing Specfiles, patches, source
rpms and binary rpms respectively. Bernhard already checked in the
correspoding Specfile and one of the patches which has been Fedora
Core 2 specific. I would appreciate to get any comment, suggestion
etc. from your side.

Among others GRASS is based on the shapelib and proj packages by
David M. Kaplan and Steve Arnold who did register their packages in
November and December 2003 ([C] and [D]). 

I set up a page which summarizes all the information about the
projects including the actual links to the packages.  This page will
is located at our homepage [3].

Many greetings,

        Silke
