<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>

Micha,<br>
Thankyou for your contribution. We like to credit the people who
have contributed to osgeo-live, and also to ensure that we legally
have the rights to include someone's work.<br>
As such, would you mind following our request for subversion access
as per: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Subversion">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Subversion</a><br>
1. Asking for subversion access to our email list, noting that you
are ok with our Open Source licenses.<br>
2. Add your name to our contributors list<br>
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>
<br>
I really like your suggestions above related to saving disk space.
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>
