  * keywords:  data => data, geonode


Comment:

 "apt-cache policy" shows that the python-gisdata package comes from
 GeoNode, who's python-geonode package Depends on it. (I suspect it would
 be better to have it be Recommends'd instead in the control file, so it
 can be removed without removing all of geonode with it)


 I'd like to remind everyone that we are still a couple hundred MB over
 budget and the part where we/I mercilessly go through and throw anything
 non-essential overboard hasn't happened yet, but it is coming very soon.

 So to avoid later pain to the translators, please be sure to use the
 standard datasets for your quickstarts.


 fwiw the convention is that each installer script links its own data into
 /usr/local/share/data/ as needed. If it's generic shapefiles or geotiffs
 link it into vector/ or raster/.


 thanks,
 Hamish
