[ELGIS] Next steps on ELGIS 6

[Hatzopoulos, Nikolaos]

The binary compatibility has to do with the kernel mostly
but in terms of python modules I don't know what's going to happen
I think it going to take some time to make things more stable

I havent install SL but I don't think they are going to go too far away
from the upstream sources

Hello,

here is the plan to finish the setting up of ELGIS 6:
- switch the build platform to Scientific Linux 6.1: SL has been more
predictable than CentOS lately with regard to relase schedule. Thanks
to the base OS stability this should not prevent compatibility with
CentOS 6 and we will strive to maintain it

Are we sure that SL6 will keep binary compatibility with RHEL 6? CentOS is committed to this even tho' as you say they have been slow lately getting new releases out. But AFAIK, SL6 allows some non-RHEL packages into their distro.  Maybe this is not a problem at all. But perhaps worth checking.

Best regards,
Micha

- move the current first batch of core packages to stable
- finish building the other existing ELGIS5 packages (pgRouting etc.)
- update GEOS in testing (contributed by Peter), start new
developments there (PG 9.x? OSSIM?)

Comments, objections welcome, as usual.

Cheers,

Mathieu
