[mapserver-users] New mappyfile release (with CLI)

[Seth G]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the feedback. Debian packaging has been created (for
mappyfile 0.7.2):
https://github.com/geographika/mappyfile/issues/59

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-experimental sudo apt-
get update sudo apt-get install python-mappyfile sudo apt-get install
python3-mappyfileWith regards to the modulo operator - I wasn't aware it was possible! It
isn't documented at https://mapserver.org/mapfile/expressions.html and
doesn't appear in any of the msautotest Mapfiles.It is easy enough to add it to the Mapfile grammar, so will be in the
next release.
Thanks Tom for the kind words on the project.

Seth
