[Qgis-developer] Sextante - OTB plugin and SAR data in Mac OS X

[Julien Malik]

Hi William,

We are not losing much when using the command line interface.
Using the OTB-Python wrappers we could have a better progress reporting, 
but it is minor.

On the other hand, we run into packaging/dependencies hell when trying 
to link Qgis and OTB together.
With the current state of the gdal package on some platform 
(debian/ubuntu), it would crash.

Also, we are clear of potential licensing issue (compatibility between 
cecill and gpl licence) with this setup.

So let's say it is a good solution for now...
Victor might have more arguments on this.



Best,
Julien
