[osgeo4w-dev] Re: MapFish packages

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi Frank

Thanks a lot for following up on the MapFish package.

Fredéric Junod fixed the issue you mentioned and uploaded a new
package as mapfish_framework-1.0.2.tar.bz2.

To test it, open an OSGeo4W console and enter:

paster create --overwrite --no-interactive --template=mapfish
SampleProject mapfishclientmfbasepath=C:\somepath

This should create a folder named SampleProject at the location you
entered the command.

Hope it'll work as I expect it to work :-) (If it does then our next
step will be to provide a mapfish_client package with the MapFish
examples.)

Thanks again.

Eric
