During the hackfest we just had in Denmark, the fine folks at Sourcepole presented some really awesome new tools for QGIS for checking and repairing geometry issues. Having these tools added to QGIS master will be a huge feather in our cap. However they have two blocking issues preventing the merge of this new tool - both relating to QGIS (see below Pirmin’s details of the outstanding issues). I am wondering if There is something we can do to help you get PrecisionModel and M value support working nicely in GEOS (and in default compilation flags) so that we can pave the way to getting the geometry checker / fixer tool incorporated? PSC would you be agreeable to spending some of our funds to support Sandro to put in the time needed to resolve these issues?<br class=""><br class="">Regards<br class=""><br class="">Tim<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On 22 May 2015, at 08:22, Pirmin Kalberer <<a href="mailto:pka@sourcepole.ch" class="">pka@sourcepole.ch</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class="">Hi Tim,<br class=""><br class="">There are two important pending points:<br class=""><br class="">1.
