Hi,
My 2 cents:
Looking at the install script in
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/blob/master/bin/install_maptiler.sh , I can
see that the package should be downloaded from
http://maptiler.googlecode.com/files/maptiler_1.0.beta2_all.deb
But this is now a dead URL.
This file was present for the 8.5beta1 build, so it was removed the last
couple of days.
I have not tested recent builds of OSGeo-Live so
it perhaps works through other means, but this isn't really encouraging at
first sight... (but you've at least the package on previous releases of the
Live DVD)
The package has been restored in our download area:
http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/data/maptiler/maptiler_1.0.beta2_all.deb
I've been able to find an unofficial mirror with sources at :
https://github.com/calvinchengx/maptiler
Regarding GSoC, gdal2tiles.py was, for sure, developped as a SOC project and
is hosted by GDAL, not sure about the gui of maptiler.
Do we know who was the GSoC mentor, so we can find out more details
about the gui?
But maptiler has a
forked version of gdal2tiles.py with new features and bug fixes (that should
ideally be retrofitted into GDAL's gdal2tiles.py if someone wants to take on
maintenance of it).
Is this forked version of gdal2tiles.py available somewhere now?
Hamish actually opened/edited tickets in GDAL trac with
stuff coming from Maptiler's gdal2tiles.py
Looking at http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/maptiler_overview.html, there are
3 URLS :
- http://www.maptiler.org/ --> now redirected to http://www.maptiler.com/
- http://groups.google.com/group/maptiler -> ok, forum still there
- http://www.maptiler.com/ --> commercial support. No way of finding open
source code on that site.
So no link to the sources (but the sources must be somehow in the installed
package as it is Python). But a bit disturbing for *OS*Geo live to not being
able to point to a site with source code.
Agreed, this does not reflect right.
