[Qgis-user] Sextante algorithms from gvSIG CE

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Victor,

The same applies for OTB right?
You use the bandled applications in OTB, not the python wrappings.

FYI I have created an RPM package of sextante for openSUSE users:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=qgis-sextante&project=home%3Atzotsos%3AApplication%3AGeo

I plan to keep this around and update it every week or so until the 
plugin is integrated to main source. I am still not sure if this should 
go to the official GEO repository yet.

Regards,
Angelos
