Hi Mathieu ,

I had a look at the links you have given in your mail.

I am happy to contribute on getting the packages created. Can you please brief me where I should start and where I can help you with my time.

I did not fully understood the process of merging the changes done in Fedora to elgis6 branch. Can you please point me to any documentation on how to do this?


Regards

Anu

Hello,
great news. Yes, we could use some help.
The best place to start, although a bit outdated, is still:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Enterprise_Linux_GIS
As Markus wrote, you can check out the Git repositories from here :
http://elgis.argeo.org/gitweb/

> a first step would be to clone the elgis6 branch of the git repository :
> http://elgis.argeo.org/gitweb/?p=grass.git;a=summary
>
> git clone git://elgis.argeo.org/grass.git<http://elgis.argeo.org/grass.git> -b elgis6
(checkout the 'elgis6' branch!)
These git repositories are clone / forks from the Fedora repositories:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/

They have not been updated for a while, so the first thing to do would be to bring them up to speed by merging what has been done since then in Fedora and testing it locally with mock.
I am still in the process of upgrading the factory and the repositories themselves (I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...) I'll give you more details when it is more or less ready.
So, if you (and others) can start working on upgrading the spec files from Fedora, that would definitely fasten the relaunch of the ELGIS effort.

Cheers,
Mathieu

Colleagues,

We are in the process of implementing a series of software environments within RHEL and possibly CENTOS.

A number of these environments will require the latest stable versions of open source spatial software.

One of my staff members (Anu) has experience at packaging software as RPMs for deployment to RHEL via a private repository.

We're interested in collaborating with the appropriate open source spatial RPM packaging communities to ensure that we can contribute our work, as well as utilise suitable packages that have already been developed.

Can anyone suggest a good starting place for Anu to get up to speed on 'how things are done' with the ELGIS (and possibly other related) community, together with any relevant policies for software version selection etc?

Bruce
