<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I'm maintaining SpatiaLite for OSGEO Live( live.osgeo.org).
Since I'm short of time for updating the docs and all packages on the current
release, I'm asking for help.
If someone could update at least the overview doc during my holidays, I would
commit the changes end of next week.
The current beta build can be downloaded from

You can look into the current docs on the OSGEO Trac:

<p>Hello Pirmin:</p>
<p>I've taken the liberty to make some changes and additions to
the overview and quickstart docs. (attached here).</p>
<p>If it looks OK, go ahead and upload to the docs on Trac. </p>
<p>Some issues regarding Spatialite. </p>
<p>First, I notice that in the /home/user/data/spatialite
directory there are three DBs, taking about 40 MB together and
they seem to be redundant (similar tables in each). Perhaps we
can consolidate into one - say regions.sqlite - and thus save
about 25-30 MB. It's not much in disk space, but every little
bit...</p>
<p>Additonally, the current version of the spatialite CLI
program is at 3.0.x on Ubuntu, but the spatialite-gui program
is still "stuck" at 1.4.0 so the new features available in the
CLI are missing from the GUI. (Ubuntu is keeping the
libspatialite2 around just for the GUI till a new
spatialite-gui is ready). THere's nothing OSGeo-Live can do
about this other than gently encourage ubuntugis to put out
updated packages for the GUI also. Should this inconsistency
between the CLI and the GUI deserve special mention in the
Overview doc??</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Micha <br>

As such, would you mind following our request for subversion access

I guess I need commit access before I can add my name?<br>

<blockquote cite="mid:4F27CAD4.8070601@gmail.com" type="cite"> 3.
I've had a quick look over your Project Overview diffs, and they
look good to me. Can you please commit your changes to the Project
Overview.<br>
4. Your quickstart updates also look reasonable, but I haven't
looked as closely at them, and am not in a good position to
comment on whether they work or not. I suggest waiting till Pirmin
returns to verify that your suggestions are good.<br>

I'll look forward to discussing with Pirmin when he gets back.<br>

The OSGeo-Live disk is quite acutely space constrained, and so it
will be good if we can save space as you suggest. Again, I suggest
discussing this with Pirmin to provide a recommendation.<br>
