[Qgis-developer] Integration of QGIS mapserver to svn?

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi all

The QGIS mapserver project implements a WMS server on top of the QGIS 
libraries (funded by the EU projects Orchestra, Sany and the city of Uster).

With the recent additions in the QGIS mapserver project, the server is now 
very convenient to use and to configure. Jürgen therefore suggested to include 
the server code directly into the QGIS subversion repository, and I too think 
this is a good idea.

The patch that includes the integration is attached to ticket 2959, 
http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/2959 (thanks to Jürgen Fischer and Pirmin 
Kalberer!).
The mapserver introduces one new dependency (libfcgi), but it is optional and 
the mapserver will just not be built without it.

What is your opinion about an integration?


Regards,
Marco
