The original idea was to have most providers removed...which included R, GRASS and SAGA as well. Finally, only certain providers were removed, mostly those that require dependencies not provided with QGIS (LiDAR tools, R...and OTB)
If maintaining the plugin is complicated and no work is done on that, then definitely it is better to keep it as core. But we have to make sure that the user knows that the provider by itself is useless, and that OTB has to be installed separately. Otherwise, we will see confusion and i think it will not be a good idea My 2 cents 2018-01-31 11:04 GMT+01:00 Paolo Cavallini <[email protected]>: > Il 31/01/2018 09:50, Rashad Kanavath ha scritto: > >> Thanks Paolo, >> Can you give a link to that discussion? > > I had a look to the archives, and I only found this: > https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2017-May/048470.html > Surely Victor and Alex can provide further details. > All the best. > > -- > Paolo Cavallini - www.faunalia.eu > QGIS & PostGIS courses: http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html > https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=IT&q=qgis,arcgis _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
