[Qgis-user] QGIS LTS version GRASS

[Patrick Giraudoux]

Actually I work on Windows with the students and Linux or Windows for 
research depending on what is adapted to my aim. The pre-compiled binary 
GRASS/QGIS still available in the "Metis" version was (and still is) 
greatly appreciated. Easy to manage with the kids (installation, 
etc...). I cannot drive them to Linux (they are used to Windows) without 
adding complexity to a field they are just discovering: GIS, map 
algebra, etc..

I am a bit anxious about this new packaging separating GRASS and QGIS 
and the osgeo4w-setup.exe installer and about my ability to do that well 
(and to convey  a "easy to do" message to the students). Maybe because I 
have been unlucky at first attempt (see previous mail). So far I will 
stick to Metis for the classroom and try and master the installation 
progressively (I am a bit short in time now and not capable to allocate 
a full day concentrating on that...) before updating the student version.

If a standalone version of QGIS/GRASS is no longer available, would be 
great to have an installer of QGIS/GRASS installing on Windows with one 
click and no problem.

Anyway, thanks, Agustin, for the hints, and to the developers for all 
the good job done so far...

Cheers,

Patrick
