[mapserver-dev] Make wms layer groups requestable

[Even Rouault]

Yves,

the links were missing in your email. I think you meant:
- Thomas' original PR: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/5371
- your doc PR: https://github.com/mapserver/docs/pull/209/files
- your new branch with Thomas commits: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/compare/master...yjacolin:wms_group_queryable

I personnally don't have a strong opinion on the topic, but all this looks
reasonnable, so I'll happily push on the merge button if Travis is happy. So yes, open
a new PR on your new branch.

> Hello,
> 
> 1 year ago Thomas Bonfort worked on a PR to make WMS Layer groups (defined
> with wms_layer_groups Layer Metadata items) to be requestable.
> 
> That's mean that if a Layer has wms_layer_group=/group1/group2 then group1
> can be requested i GetMap request. This is the same behaviour as GROUP
> excep that GROUP can have only one group level. This change means that
> GROUP could be seen as deprecated.
> 
> I worked on a PR for documentation [2]  and I think MIGRATION_GUIDE doesn't
> need to be adapted. I worked on a new branch from a newer master branch and
> cherry-pick the 3 commits from Thomas Bonfort branch.
> 
> My question is what developpers and PSC think about this? We (Camptocamp)
> would like to see this merged in the MapServer code base and are ready to
> help if changes are needed. If you agree we can close the Thomas PR and
> open a new one from my new branch.
> 
> Thanks for your feedback.

> Y.
