[Gvsig_english] gvsig in ubuntu

[Miguel Montesinos]

Hi,

 

I agree, everyone with Ubuntu has ever tried to install gvSIG from repositories. Besides it can help to spread the project to other people not aware that gvSIG exists.

 

BTW, Fran, when you say “easy to avoid”, have you estimated “how easy it would be”? If we have an estimation, and a possible assignee, I can propose it next Tuesday at the Board meeting.

 

Regards,

Fran,

Having gvSIG in the Ubuntu Repository would be very helpful, so if JAI is not really needed anymore for core functionality removing it would be desirable.

Hi all.
 
I don't know if many of you have received this e-mail.
 
The people from Ubuntu tell us that they can't put gvSIG in Ubuntu 
because we depend on JAI. In fact, this dependency is very annoying and 
is very easy to avoid. (new releases of Geotools don't use it anymore, 
and we only need one easy class....).
 
So, my proposal is to remove this dependency for 1.9.1 and contac again 
with Ubuntu in order to get gvSIG included in next Ubuntu distribution.
 
Best regards.

gvSIG relies on the java advanced imaging library which is non-free software.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/314799
 
Unless that library changes its license or gvSIG can be built without it
it is impossible to create a package which can be added to the
repositories...
