New Mapbender_setup Version

[Samson, Marko]

Hi,

- thank you for the idea of adding the script into the next version!

- did some stylish work. So the Setupchecker has Mapbender-style now. Hope you like it?!

- separated the different 'subjects' into own tables

- also copied The GNU GPL into the header. 

- link to the corresponding Wiki page? Is the link to http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Installation_en , I added into the header, the right one? Or will I have to write an extra page for this? I don' t think so!? If it's not enough, I need an account for your wiki.

- I installed the SVN plugin. But I still have the same probs as with CVS, because of the blocked ports. So I'll try it at home (What is the url to the SVN Repository..?). 
- Is the SVN tag just something like "# $Id$"? I think it has to be added by a function of the SVN plugin to get an own ID, which needs writing rights for the SVN repository, am I right? Perhaps someone of CCGIS can add it into the SVN, cause I don`t have an account, yet.)

- something else #TODO?

- I didn't rename the mb_setupchecker into mapbender_setup yet, so everyone can test it without overwriting the orig. mapbender_setup. 

CU,
Marko

Hi,
this is a standard case of "throwing code over the fence" (don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing). But now that we are in the incubation process of the OSGeo we learned that there are some rules to adhere to, these involve code formatting, licensing and copyright.

The code needs to have the GNU GPL license text included and needs a header with the SVN tags and a link to the corresponding Wiki page (which contains the documentation). The author must be prepared to publish his software under the protection of the GNU GPL. The copyright of the software modules of Mapbender currently (except for a few
exceptions) lies with CCGIS. We have learned that this is a good thing as it makes it easier to change licenses and do other adminis-trivia. It has also been suggested to transfer the copyright completely to the OSGeo Foundation. Currently this would only involve CCGIS.

We will ask the incubation committee for advice on how to proceed on this.

The code can only be contained in the v 2.4 if we manage to resolve these issues in one way or another.

If you have questions please let us know.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
