[Qgis-developer] Test dataset for SEXTANTE unit tests?

[Alexander Bruy]

Hi Victor,

there is a QGIS sample dataset [0], that contains data (both vector
and raster) in different formats. There are shapefile, kml, csv and
even small grass location. Maybe it makes sence to extent this
datased by adding necessary files?

Also there are some test data in QGIS sources [1], that used by QGIS
unit test. You can find them under tests/testdata directory in your
sources.

And finally there is a demo dataset called Geosample [2]. This
datased was created by GIS-Lab community and currently a bit
outdated (uses old symbology, project files have old version). In
case if you decide to use some data from it I'm available to help
with reviewing and updating it to latest master.

Hope this helps
