Dear QGIS Plugin Repository Maintainers,

I hope you are doing well.

I would like to kindly request a review of my plugin *?Sector Plotter?* (Plugin
ID: 5028), which I submitted to the QGIS Plugin Repository approximately
one month ago. As of now, the plugin still shows the status ?no public
version yet,? and I understand it may be pending approval.

The plugin is designed to create telecom sectors from CSV inputs using
azimuth, beamwidth, and KPI mapping, and I have ensured that all required
files and metadata are properly included.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could review the submission at your
convenience and let me know if any changes or corrections are required from
my side. I am happy to make any necessary updates promptly.

Thank you very much for your time and for maintaining the QGIS plugin
ecosystem.

Kind regards,

Ayaz Khan

Hi Sionigdha,

I am sorry your proposal could not make it.

I would like to thank you as well for the time you invested in your
proposal. And reassures you that it's not all lost,  the design you
did is there and could be used as a basis for future work

I would also like to encourage you to pursue in the QGIS ecosystem. I
was not accepted either in GSoC at the time, but here I am. I hope the
community can offer you a way to get involved in QGIS project.

Since you are not binded  to a GSoC proposal anymore, maybe having a
prototype in the shape of a QGIS plugin would be doable ?

Cheers,
Valentin

Message-ID: <CAB28AshNiUj0kNuznjUfssv3UcLY-cP8JBLVyoTH7Hj=C89QJw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi lists,

I've taken some time to write up our (currently undocumented) stable API
policies. This has been submitted as
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/pull/382 for discussion.

It is initially intended as a formal description of CURRENT POLICIES ONLY,
which can be later modified and revised (in an atomic manner) if we want to
change any of these policies. As such, please refrain from using this
initial request as a place to discuss changes to current practice. Rather,
let's keep discussion focused on whether this is an accurate and complete
description of our current policies. ?

The end goal here is having a formal policy in place describing all our API
stability rules, which will help ease new developers into contributing
effectively to QGIS and remove some of the unspoken assumptions surrounding
QGIS development.

Regards,
Nyall

Subject: [QGIS-Developer] PyQGIS question: get SVG content with resolved
 param() values from QgsSvgMarkerSymbolLayer or QgsSVGFillSymbolLayer
Message-ID: <EB7513FA-5E4F-41A6-B5A1-37A2DCA699F5@live.ca>

Hello QGIS community,

I am working on a QGIS plugin, and I have a question about SVG symbol rendering in PyQGIS.

I am using SVG-based symbol layers (for example, QgsSvgMarkerSymbolLayer / QgsSVGFillSymbolLayer).  
The SVG file contains placeholders such as param(fill), param(fill-opacity), param(outline), etc.

In Python, I can access:
- the SVG path (path()/svgFilePath())
- the symbol layer properties (color, opacity, outline, etc.)

What I need is the final SVG XML content with those param(...) values already resolved, exactly as QGIS uses it at render time.

My questions:
1. Is there a public PyQGIS API that returns the resolved SVG source (not just a rendered image)?
2. If not, is there a recommended approach to reproduce QGIS resolution logic reliably?
3. Are there edge cases I should handle (quoted params, default values, data-defined overrides, expression-based values)?

Any guidance or examples would be very appreciated.

Thank you!

Best regards,  
Jacob Ch.

Message-ID: <CAB2Z92A+n6OUbNqLoQFqcn2MHNA90H_9Jx8cV=G=ivF_pddLEg@mail.gmail.com>

Dear QGIS contributors,

I reserved a group accommodation (16 single rooms, 3 double rooms, 6
triple, one 4-bed and two 8-bed rooms). The prices range from 40 to 55 ?
per night - these are really affordable prices for Switzerland. It includes
breakfast (bread, butter, jam, cheese, cereals, fruits, tea and coffee).

If you are interested in such a room / bed, please let me know.

More information at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HMNEXrUyJimRMq31JtcCduSk56alEGu1XqR3RO0-7dM/edit?usp=sharing

About rooms: if you snore, please reserve a single room, otherwise I would
appreciate it if you could also fill the shared rooms.

In order to reserve, please ask me for editing permission of the
spreadsheet and afterwards fill in your contacts.

In case you fill in and then need to cancel the accommodation, please do
not forget to also remove yourself from the spreadsheet.

Best regards,
Andreas

Subject: [QGIS-Developer] segfault with 4.0.0 and 4.0.2+18, qt6
Message-ID: <rmiecjjm82p.fsf@s1.lexort.com>

I'm trying to keep an experimental qgis4 pkgsrc pkg with qt6 up to date.
This is disjoint from the operational 3.44.9 (qt5) package.

This is all on NetBSD 10 amd64, mostly with gcc10 unless packages are
coded to need more bleeding-edge c++ languagea variants.

Earlier, I had 4.0.0 built from git
f2317a9ab1b8b0ab95c88d0cb0a2e53530812076 against qt6 6.10.0(?).  That
worked mostly fine, except that access to secret storage failed.

Then, I had updated qt6 to 6.11.0 (because pkgsrc did, which should be
ok), and I updated qgis to 4.0.2+18 (meaning 18 commits beyond the tag).
That starts up, but segfaults on opening a project.

Next I'm going to roll back qt6 and retest.

Is anyone else using qt 6.11.0?
Does anyone have any clues from this backtrace?

Hi Andreas,

For who are those rooms intended? Since you are mailing this to the 
developers list only I think it's meant for participants to the 
contributing meeting? But it is not clear and in the Dutch user group we 
have some members who are considering going to the UC but are looking 
for cheap accommodations. Can I tell them, and thus all other members, 
about this option?

Adding the link to either the hackfest wiki page or otherwise to the UC 
website would be more clear?

Kind regards,
Raymond

Hi Raymond,

The rooms are for everyone. But I informed the contributor community first,
to give them a chance to get a room before the rest of the crowd.

So far - I did not hear back much.

So yes, please offer it to the Dutch QGIS community. First comes, first
served.

Marco promised to add the link to the HF and conf page - but apparently did
not do it so far. I guess I will do the Github page myself, since I can do
that without him.

Yesterday I wrote that starting up qgis 4.0.2(+18 commits) (from
pkgsrc-wip/qgis) resulted in a crash.  It turns out the thing that
matters for crash vs works is not qgis version, but qt6 version.

(This is all about qgis 4, because qgis 3.44 uses qt5 (and both qgis 3.44
and qt5 are apparently stable).)

This is all on NetBSD 10 amd64.

QGIS	QT	RESULT	
4.0.0	6.10.2	works
4.0.2   6.10.2	works
4.0.0	6.11.0	crashes on opening project file
4.0.2	6.11.0	crashes on opening project file

Have other people tried to run qgis, or other complicated qt programs
built against qt6 6.11.0?   It looks to me like 6.11.0 redid a bunch of
things and I'm guessing they broke things.  But there could be a latent
bug in qgis.

Hi Valentin,

Firstly sorry for the late reply, I was finishing up my end semester exams
and couldnt reply until now.

Thank you for the kind words, it genuinely helps. And you are right that
the work was not wasted. I did come out of this understanding the QGIS
codebase and contribution process a lot better than when I started, and
that is valuable regardless of the outcome.

The plugin idea caught my attention. I am curious to know more about what
you had in mind, would it essentially be the same JSON toolkit algorithms
but packaged as a plugin rather than contributed directly to core? I am
asking because I want to understand whether this would be more of a
personal learning project or something that could eventually feed back into
the QGIS ecosystem in some way. Either way I am open to it, just want to
understand the direction better before diving in.

Best regards , Sionigdha

I've succesfully compiled and ran QGIS4 with Qt 6.9.2 and 6.10.2 as those are available in Debian Testing.

The Flathub build is also on Qt 6.10: https://github.com/flathub/org.qgis.qgis/blob/master/org.qgis.qgis.json

Qt 6.11 is not packaged so much apparently?
Not sure what is used for the Osgeo4W builds?

Maybe you are the first one to hit an issue?

I think I've heard there were some issues with opening older project files in QGIS4, but as Qt6.10 is working that is probably not the issue here?

Can you create an issue maybe, preferably with a gdb trace on a debug build? Hopefully core devs have a clue then?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Hi Richard and list,
the latest QGIS 4.1.0-Master and QGIS 4.0.2 provided by OSGeo4W use Qt 
6.11.0.

4.0.0 and 4.0.2+18 both work with 6.10.2, except that they fail to find
the authentication provider.  I suspect the authentication provider
problem is about some qt6 part not being in pkgsrc yet.

4.0.2+18/6.10.2 will open a project file and act normally while
4.0.2+18/6.11.0 crashes on the same file.

Starting without a project file is ok.

Other complicated qt6-using programs work with 6.11.0 (on
NetBSD-current), according to others.

I see from Andrea that osgeo4w has 4.0.2 with Qt 6.11.0, but I wonder

  does it work :-) ?

  surely that uses some different implementations than on POSIX, so
  while it's a very helpful data point, I'm not sure what I can
  conclude.

I should mention that I'm using X11 (which I've been using since I
upgraded from X10!), given the "wayland is the answer, what was the
question" problems in some corners of the GNU/Linux world.

Has anyone run qgis 4 with 6.11.x on POSIX with X11?

Overnight, pkgsrc got qt6 6.11.1, changelog "bugfixes".  I am updating
and will rebuild all and see how it goes.  If still not ok, I'll flip to
debug builds and build qt6 and qgis again, so gdb can get better
backtraces, and file an issue.

Regarding this thread, I just spotted today that it is still possible to get a standalone Windows installer that includes the grids from the downloads page.

Some caveats to avoid with multi profile management. I'd be in favor of storing proj grids once per user $APPDATA profile, not in each QGIS profile

Hi all,

Thanks for raising this discussion, Tim.
There recently was a discussion about that on a github issue.
The new macOS packages didn't ship grid packages out of the box in the beginning and this was a blocker for some users so I ended up bundling the data files again with the macOS packages. The full discussion can be seen here https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/64486

Key takeaways for me: If we want to split this apart, we need to make it very easy for users to install missing bits, the current process would need some improvements. If this is shipped as a separate installer package, we need to make sure it works across all platforms.

Kind regards
Matthias

Another option would be to add an option to the standalone installer to download grids, similarly to what we had
in the old NSIS installer for Alaska dataset.

Hi all

Here in the infrastructure management club for QGIS we have been embarking on a plan to slowly divest ourselves of 'big tech'. At the end of last year we switched off cloudflare CDN and implemented our own caching servers. At that time we were doing around 130TB of throughput (including what was being soaked up by Cloudflare). As of last month we did 430TB of throughput without the help of Cloudflare.

We are trying to optimise costs - that bandwidth alone cost us in the neighbourhood of 500? per month. To reduce costs we can approach the problem in two way:

1. optimise the infrastructure - we (QGIS Devops team) are busy looking into ways to do that...
2. reduce the download size...

We are wondering if the datum shift files could be split out from the main installer and fetched as an optional extra? Or maybe on demand as you need them? We could set up some infrastructure for hosting them, but we would need some help on the application side to implement logic to go and grab shift files that are not locally cached. Is anyone able to help with this?

Regards

Tim

Hi! Today I upgraded to Ubuntu 26.04 which ships with libspatialindex 
2.1 and could not compile QGIS. For anyone running into the same 
problem, you can set the compile option WITH_INTERNAL_SPATIALINDEX=ON 
and use the libspatialindex 2.0 shipped with QGIS.

Subject: [QGIS-Developer] Laax group accommodation - please reserve your
 spot in the next 2 weeks
Message-ID: <CAB2Z92BCJqBH_dKq-OoiLwqt4rK6VOuGjCtcVxFzeFxnsj=MsQ@mail.gmail.com>

Dear participants of the QGIS contributor meeting and conference in Laax,

As you may have heard, QGIS has organized group accommodation. See
information at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HMNEXrUyJimRMq31JtcCduSk56alEGu1XqR3RO0-7dM/edit?usp=sharing

Since I get more and more requests from people who will not attend the
contributor meeting, I now blocked the remaining single rooms and a
three-bed room for participants of the contributor meeting.

For better planning I kindly remind people who want to book a room or bed
in a shared room as a contributor to reserve their room within the next two
weeks. After that I will make all rooms available for everyone.

Most likely we'll make the rooms / beds available for free for people who
attend the contributor meeting and charge only the people who do not
participate and contribute.

Best regards,
Andreas

Subject: [QGIS-Developer] SAGA GIS plugin maintenance
Message-ID: <CAHw6TZe0aFRhiGmtxs6ACG+EHM1TobrnhqvD8=OOo5DhTiyoyw@mail.gmail.com>

Good morning everyone,

I?m writing to the dev list because I think this issue is of interest.

For the past few days, the SAGA Next plugin?which allows you to use SAGA
GIS modules within QGIS Processing?has been unavailable.

According to reports in the QGIS community?s Telegram group, maintaining
this plugin is becoming increasingly difficult due to developments in the
SAGA project, which can cause the plugin to stop working.

I recall that until a couple of years ago, SAGA was, like GRASS, a resource
installed directly within QGIS, but then, precisely because of the
difficulty in keeping up with SAGA?s developments, it was decided to treat
SAGA as a third-party resource accessible via plugins.

I believe it is right that this important resource should not be maintained
on a voluntary basis by a single developer/user, but that it should be
taken on by the community.

Do you think it would be a good idea to propose to the Steering Group that
its maintenance be taken on directly by the QGIS.org Foundation and that a
certain sum (1000?2000 euros?) be set aside in the annual budget for its
maintenance?

Thank you

No, I think it makes more sense for the SAGA developers to commit to maintaining the QGIS plugin which will likely motivate them to stabilize their interface.

Have you brought this up with them?  How do they view people using SAGA
code in a qgis context?  Supportive?  Indifferent?  Oppposed, except for
the usual "the license gives you the freedom to do stuff like that, but
we won't help."?

(Given that you're writing from gmail, the default assumption is that
you're writing as an indvidual member of the open source community and
not proxying concerns from some other entity.)

How much use of SAGA is there within the qgis world?  Is any of that at
companies?  Are they willing to pay say 10% of what ESRI licenses would
cost?  Have they contacted SAGA and asked about maintenance that would
benefit QGIS?  Would they be willing to pay into a QGIS.org maintenance
bucket for SAGA-related tasks?  This is not special about SAGA - just
trying to poke at who wants what and who's willing to pay.

That was also my guess, but is that the case?   Maybe there isn't any interest?

Nyall only needed to remove his repo to make it disappear completely.  There
apparently wasn't a single fork from contributors - not one.

I've built SAGA for years for OSGeo4W and have just updated it to the latest
version in response to a quick release they did, when we reported with the last
version of the plugin an issue.

More of a coincidence, I'm not a user either.   So I didn't follow SAGA or the
plugin much and with the repo gone it's unclear to me, whether it actually was
much work to maintain the plugin or just a lack of interest.

But I'm a bit suprised that the repo wasn't just archived, but removed.

First of all, thank you all for your feedback.

It is clear that the problem is not (solely) the SAGA plugin, but rather a
perspective on the sustainability of open-source projects, which, I
imagine, Nyall has rightly raised.

To avoid any misunderstanding and in response to Greg?s comments, in this
context I am simply a user who used to use SAGA very frequently some time
ago; as the features of QGIS/ Processing have improved and expanded, I
hardly use it anymore, except for rasterisation, which allows complete
control over the rasterisation values when, for example, I have overlapping
points, and SAGA allows you to choose whether to assign the minimum,
average, maximum, sum, etc., to the raster cell ? a function that GDAL does
not have.

However, I reiterate that I consider Nyall?s decision to be a ?provocation?
(in a positive sense, let?s be clear) to draw attention to sustainability.

Jurgen has stated the difficulty in keeping up with SAGA?s developments,
which are often unannounced, and attempts at structured collaboration ?
correct me if I?m wrong ? with SAGA?s maintainers have not yielded good
results.

So, returning to the specific case, I believe the solutions could be:

1) SAGA is no longer a third-party module provider, as it no longer
develops or maintains any plugins;

2) specific voluntary contributions are found, either short-term or
long-term

tertium non datur!


Regards

s.

Hi Stefano,

I would be a -1 to the proposed idea. We need to be careful not to
fuse the QGIS PSC and "the community". The PSC manages a project with
lots of needs and pain points (infrastructure, bugfixing,
documentation, packaging, just to name a few). I think that your
proposal that the PSC should allocate funds to maintain a specific,
third-party plugin sets a potentially problematic precedent. There are
thousands of QGIS plugins and many of them are incredibly useful but
not maintained anymore. What makes the SAGA plugin uniquely qualified
to receive QGIS funding over any other unmaintained plugin? If
QGIS.org starts funding the maintenance of external plugins from its
budget, where do we draw the line?

If the community truly feels this plugin is very valuable, the
solution should come from the ground up, not from the top down. The
users and organizations who rely heavily on SAGA should be the ones to
find funds and find developer(s) willing to step up, take ownership
and the maintenance burden.

I haven't followed the development of the SAGA NextGen plugin closely,
but from what I have seen, it was mainly only one person taking care
of it and only a few very occasional contributors. This suggests that
there is very low interest among users in actively supporting a tool
which may be crucial for at least some of them.

Also, as someone who was previously involved in the core SAGA plugin
maintenance and developed an alternative SAGA Processing provider for
my own needs, I can only confirm all previously raised points
regarding the overhead related to keeping up with SAGA's changes.
Command structures and names change frequently, things tend to break
here and there without a notice, and the only source of truth is the
source code. It is indeed a heavy burden and that's exactly why it was
removed from QGIS core in the first place.

Just to reiterate my main point: users who want to have a SAGA plugin
should organize a dedicated fundraising campaign or find development
volunteers themselves. That would be a fair and truly community-driven
solution, rather than asking QGIS.org to stretch its budget for a
third-party dependency.

Hi J?rgen and list,
actually there are various forks of the "Processing Saga NextGen 
Provider" repository still alive on GitHub [1].

AFAIK, mine [2] is up to date to Nyall's latest commit. I've also added 
the zipped file of the latest release of the plugin that was available 
on the plugins' server, version 1.1.0 [3].

Best regards.

um, odd.  apologies.   I looked for "qgis-processing-saga-nextgen" on github
and only got 2 results - rhurlin's (original?) repo with a 7 year old commit
being the latest and a docker image.

But I missed that rhurlin's repo has more current forks, which I would have
expected to see in the search too.

Hi all,

It might be possible that some of you are aware of this, but regarding
funding of open-source geospatial software there is a HORIZON Coordination
and Support Actions call with a budget of 6M euro, which was closed
recently:
https://www.horizon-europe.gouv.fr/services-and-business-incubator-geospatial-open-source-developments-41508

The call states: "Proposals should foresee a range of 45-60% of the
proposed budget for providing financial support to third parties (FSTP),
with the aim of establishing seed funding mechanisms to aid identified
critical geospatial open-source projects".

I think this might be a nice opportunity not only for SAGA, but for many
others (including QGIS) that may use available funding quite effectively.
Might be good to follow the developments.

Best,

Serkan
