[mapserver-users] MapServer reference/demo mapfile and data

[Rahkonen Jukka (Tike)]

Hi,

Great idea. How about trying to show that the “OSGeo umbrella” could mean something real? Geoserver has a set of vectors and rasters in the “data_dir” directory of the standard delivery and I believe that the IP rights of those have been checked. Deegree has also four demo workspaces and download links seem to be here http://download.deegree.org/documentation/3.2.2/html/lightly.html.  For my mind using the same demo datasets than at least one other project would be better than having our own. I volunteer to help with writing/testing the mapfiles.

Hi All,

I'm about to extend my MapServer IIS installer with some optional mapfile/data to demonstrate that the installed application is working. Do we have some kind of official demo/data for MapServer which is expected to work with all mapserver versions? In my understanding that kind of data should also coexist in github (just like for msautotest) with the corresponding branches and the map configuration(s)/data should always be adjusted according to the recent changes in the MapServer codebase.

For example the itasca demo would be a good candidate, but it doesn't seem work with the current MapServer release due to the configured ANNOTATION layers.

Such kind of up to date demo should also go to osgeo4w which has already been supported with the latest stable/daily builds of MapServer.

Best regards,

Tamas
