Robet,

Can you confirm the information I got that the driver can only be used to convert legacy datasets (can they still be downloaded from web sites?) and not recent ones ? How much time still do you plan to use it ?

Hi all!

I use SOSI gdal conversion. So in case you are wondering, there is at least one user.

Kind regards,
Robet Nagy

    sosi2osm was removed from Debian during the bookworm development
    cycle.

    The only rdep of fyba in Debian is gdal now.

    Almost all installations of libfyba are due to it being a
    dependency of
    gdal, that's why it has 23911 installations but only 513 votes
    (regular
    users).

    popcon is opt-in, there are only ~230000 systems running popcon
    out of
    millions of Debian installations. Hence it's mostly usable to provide
    insight into relative popularity compared to other packages in
    Debian.
    Container images are unlikely to enable popcon, the Docker images
    don't
    even have it installed.

    Me too, if there are none left we can also remove the fyba package
    from
    Debian.

    Kind Regards,

    Bas
