[Live-demo] RE: MapGuide on LiveDVD 5.0

[Trevor Wekel]

Moving discussion to the list...

Implementing native compilation on Ubuntu 11 for MapGuide and Fdo will take some time.  As such, we will be unable to make the LiveDVD 5 deadlines.  We are already past the cut off for the install scripts.

I understand that taking MapGuide off the LiveDVD will "free up" space which will quickly be consumed.  If MapGuide cannot be fit onto LiveDVD 5.5, may I suggest that we move to a multi-dvd set.  Perhaps a "Desktop" DVD and a "Server" DVD.  4.77GB for 40+ projects is quite small.

Regards,
Trevor

Hi Cameron,
 
Unfortunately, Jackie and I have not had time to correct the issues highlighted by Hamish from the alpha build logs.  The package dependencies are especially problematic since they will likely require native builds of FDO and MapGuide on Ubuntu 11.  Jackie and I have decided that it would be better to concentrate our LiveDVD efforts on the next release (5.5 in Jan 2012).  For this release, please exclude MapGuide from the LiveDVD.

Trevor, sorry to hear that you haven't had time to look at Mapguide. Would you mind sending this email to the osgeo-live list, live-demo at lists.osgeo.org, as there will likely be others with an opinion, and possibly someone who can help you. Also, we need to let people know if the contents of the DVD is decreasing.

One last comment. Mapguide is the largest installed application on osgeo-live. If we remove it now, and other applications are installed in its place, it will be difficult to find enough space to fit it back in.
