I propose the following change. an otb provider without much complication to maintain for qgis and is not tied to specific otb version A provider will allow to download && install latest otb binary packages (optional) for user's who don't have OTB. Ofcourse, a download of otb isn't just download, it will configure itself for qgis processing. So the provider itself is usable in a way without otb, because it can handle installation if one needs to. > > 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 > -- Regards, Rashad
