[GRASS-dev] could r.stream.* become part of GRASS core?

[Margherita Di Leo]

Ciao Enrico,

I agree that the quality of the r.stream.* modules is out of question. For
what concerns including it into the core, I would like to point you out the
discussion [1] about the concept of toolboxes. The general orientation is
not to include field specific groups of modules into the core and make them
available in an easy way when required. In case you meet any issue
concerning the installation of the add-ons, please do not hesitate to
report to the list or file a ticket.

Ciao
