[GRASSLIST:6649] AW: Import GRASS-Data from a distant Location/Mapset

[marco.lechner]

Hi Hamish,

I modified your scripts and they run great for my needs.
I will attach them to this mail - may be we can put it in the CVS?
What I changed:
- fixed problem "g.parser not found"
- r.unpack didn't remove the path from the *.pack file and tried to import
the packed Map with naming it the whole path not only the filename I added a
second sed pipe, which removes the path from $GIS_OPT_input

Could anyone please try it - I was only able to test it on a Cygwin-machine
with GRASS6.1.cvs.

Marco

Note maps in the PERMANENT mapset are read only and accessable from all
other mapsets.


To copy a vector map to another computer, just copy over the directory
in $MAPSET/vector/ and possibly the dbf link in $MAPSET/dbf.
scp, 'tar -czf' etc..


To copy a raster map (as you know) you have to copy a lot of files from
a lot of places... one day the raster format will be rewritten & things
will be easier, but in the mean time I have written a couple little
scripts to pack up a raster map for transport to another machine. r.pack
and r.unpack,

see:

It's up to you to make sure the projection settings are the same.
