Hallo! I'm looking for a sponsor for gdal:
Description: Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats
that is released under an Open Source license. As a library, it
presents a single abstract data model to the calling application
for all supported formats. The related OGR library (which lives
within the GDAL source tree) provides a similar capability for
simple features vector data.
I know that it is rather unusual to package a library without being
an official debian maintainer but gdal is a very important library
necessary for example for some features of my package thuban [1] as well
as for grass [2]. Furthermore gdal is used for many GIS-applications
that ar not in debian.
Paul Baker filed an ITP some time ago [3]. I got in contact with him
and Alessandro who packaged a great part of the package that I
present here. I spoke with both and they agree that I should take
maintainership of gdal.
You can find all package related files on
ftp://ftp.intevation.de/users/silke/debian/gdal-1.2+cvs.031016/
Greetings,
Silke
