[GRASS-user] to move or not move ? grass64 <- ? -> 7.0

[Paulo van Breugel]

Hi Milton

I am using GRASS 7.0 most of the time, only switching to 6.4 when I want to
use it from QGIS as I don't manage to get QGIS to work with GRASS 7.0 (that
will need some work on the gdal-grass plugin I think). Switching is no
problem, it requires rebuilding the topology from one to the other version,
but that is easy and quick.

It is a development version, so you always run the risk something get's
broken. To minimize the risk, I am always keeping a backup of the latest
build that worked well so I can always switch back to that build if
something is not working after an update.

All in all, it has been very stable for me, with only a few issues after
updates. These were always solved quickly and I never had to revert to a
previous build. Your luck may vary of course, also depending on your
operating system (I am working on Ubuntu), so I would recommend running the
two version, trying out how it works for you.

Cheers

Paulo
