Re: [udig-devel] OSGeo Live freeze on 4th of July
Hi Frank.

Just firing up the geotools release on one machine; and trying for a new snapshot (with moovida's spatial toolbox) on another.
The draft was me copying and pasting from the old one; I would rewrite that to use the two layers you mention?

The two layers mentioned are already downloaded by the udig install script; if we can rewrite the quickstart and walkthrough 1 then the DVD will be lighter by 50 megs (the size of the bluemarble tiff).

Please have a look at the German quickstart (http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/de/quickstart/udig_quickstart.rst) where I've already added the natural earth data sets to udig (sorry, still a TODO for me to take screenshots). I used the the following data sets so far:
  • 10m_admin_0_countries.shp
  • HYP_50M_SR_W.tif
IMO, we don't need to pregenerate the spatial index for the 10m_admin_0_countries - quite a few features in this dataset. And if the user walk through the quickstart guide has to read a bit to go on to the next step ;)
Right now we should care about what's already in the quickstart guide, I couldn't found any hint for timezones (OSGeo-Live). For the quickstart at http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Quickstart+Draft if found still times zones and clouds in the description, do we really need these? I would prefer to add different kind from the mentioned natural earth data sets, because the user guide doesn't contain any information about SLD's.
But priority #1 IMHO is the 1.2.2 release - 4th July is today ;) . To add additional datasets to the OSGeo Live project we have to update install scripts as well - in my opinion it's could be to late to start today with it :( . 
How can I support you for the release or is it possible to have a snapshot release in the VM?

Sorry those are wrong; should be the 10m ... wow that is a lot of data.

Update the following page with links:

I think I may need to make a single download bundle for two reasons:
1) to save people going crazy
2) to pregenerate the spatial index so that the first impression is good
3) to include timezones.shp (which is our example that includes an sld file)

Here is what I think I have been able to figure out:




No idea if those links are stable; the actual website does some magic.

Hi Frank

I have been wasting time; and even checked out the osgeo live project; in order to try and find out ...

... what natural earth dataset is included on the live dvd?

I am so glad you started as well; as I have made no progress.

Just updated on my machine the vm install_udig.sh script to the 1.2-SNAPSHOT (from http://udig.refractions.net/downloads/files/branches/) version, tested the natural earth data set and it works like expected!

I'll start updating the quickstart guide on http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Quickstart and take this over to the osgeo live project later.

Cheers, Frank

So a uDig-1.2-SNAPSHOT is uploading now; it should be good for screen snaps and all that stuff and more importantly it works with the natural earth dataset (no more warnings).

Fantastic! I guess that would also the final version for the FOSS4G in September this year. And like Cameron wrote its not for the docs, only for the setup and install scripts and occasional bugs would be OK.

And btw I'm happy that the UDIG-1763 thing is already fixed! Thanks again Jesse!

Just a suggestion for documentation enhancement:
- Could we take screenshots and push these to udig-docs on github? We could take these for Windows 7, ubuntu, mac os and so on and could also be used for the Live DVD Quickstart as well (800x600 and/or 1024x800)

Cheers, Frank

Hi Frank; let us take discussion to the uDig devel email list. We have gotten the patch in to support use of the nautrual earth dataset; I was otherwise occupied over the weekend and did not get a chance to try for a uDig 1.2.2 release.

Let me try and accomplish the following before Friday; if not we should translate the english quickstart 1:1.

1) release a 1.2.2 snapshot
2) update the walkthrough using the snapshot and natural earth
3) tag the result as 1.2.2 and upload release for live dvd use
4) allow you to test the install script and confirm everything works
5) build the installers and otherwise make a release anouncements

Does that sound about right?

Hi Jody,

properly I answered in the wrong thread and therefor it was skipped. Have you already looked into the install_udig.sh script for the Live-DVD? I would commit it right after udig was released. Cameron Shorter wrote a mail these days that the "feature"/code freeze is on 4th of July. Can I give you support for the 1.2.2 release train?

Let me know, otherwise I going to translate the English quickstart 1:1 with the data downloaded from refractions.

Cheers, Frank

Jody, I just created a patch for the install_udig.sh script. Properly you could try this before commit (and of course after final release 1.2.2 upload)
What I did: removed data download and extracted udig version (for html docs and installer zip)

Cheers, Frank
