Re: [udig-devel] Some problems found while reviewing SVN Head

Hi
I'm currently testing against SVN 14624, obtained via Tortoise SVN;

This does not make sense to me :-(

When I navigate my browser to this link (http://svn.geotools.org/) it shows the latest svn revision at 14264. Perhaps you are talking about your own internal svn server?

my SVN is then updated with this, and used for the test run, on completion of the test run the code plus mods plus data is placed in our SVN and tagged for repeatability, the next slice is then taken form your SVN head , placed in ours, tagged and forms the basis for the next test sequence, and the process repeats, checksums are used to check code consistency.

Oh dear that sounds very painful, is there anything we can do help that process? Our intention is to provide svn space for anyone working on udig (we wish to foster the udig community). I am not sure if or how we can help you.

All this is taking place on TK's laptop (if this beast can be described as a laptop), which is still the only machine with direct comms in this place. I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to establish a wanadoo email account on Firebird yesterday with no success,. direct comms is awaiting a new pipe which involves cable laying and is at least two weeks away. I will make another attempt.

I am sure I can sort messages based on your signature for a couple of weeks.

However in the mean time I have been looking at the code involved, the gml catalog code appears to be a cut and past of the shape catalog code which perhaps explains the presence of the shape reference in the exception report, one of the development team will be setting up a Geotools test environment for me, on Monday I will go through this properly then. In the mean time I've been doing some static code checking but currently I'm searching for the Geotiff source for testing.

We have been in discussion with those working on raster support in the geotools community (do you follow that devel list at all?). The players involved have just released their Web Coverage Service based on GeoServer and will be turning their attention to performance shortly.

We can also set up udig to take advantage of multiple toolkits, I understand that there are some alternatives out there for raster processing. The use of toolkit some GPL toolkits, like deegree, may involve a bit more fun - the creation of a separate project with a GPL plugin should prove sufficient.
