[GRASS-dev] g.extension.add available to install GRASS Addons SVN modules (GEM replacement)

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

I have written a simple script to replace GEM:

Example: install i.landsat.toar from GRASS Addons SVN:
  g.extension.add extension=i.landsat.toar

Or r.terracost (the lazy user may omit even extension=):
 g.extension.add r.terracost

It will download, compile and install the requested module.
It can also be used to fetch a later update of course.

The script itself is yet in Addons [1]. It requires 6.4.0RC5 or 6.5.
It won't work with GRASS 7 since the "make install" support wasn't
yet implemented (see my other mail).

Feel free to improve/rewrite the module directly in SVN (ideally
rewrite it to Python).

Cheers
Markus
