   -

   Jody to write proposal for GeoPackage community module upgrade


December release, 2.19.4

Possibly GeoSolutions turn, Andrea will check in-house.

Keeping older builds running for six more months

No issue found during the meeting, extra load is negligible.

1 year cadence? Same points made on list.

Reformatter upgrade

Java 11 required for latest version (aside, latest Wicket too).

https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/3697

Also, project closer to get un-maintained, fork pending:

https://github.com/coveooss/fmt-maven-plugin/issues/105

Two Options

   1.

   Apply patch with log fix to older release & use that for now
   2.

   Migrate to a different formatting plugin
   1.

      e.g. “spotless
      <https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/tree/main/plugin-maven>” format
      plugin. This is not actually as much as it sounds, as the underlying
      formatter is still the same, mainly just changes in how the plugin is
      invoked (pom + doc changes mostly)

Leaning towards spotless because it’s better supported, but no strong
opinion.

Participation in Dec 21th meeting

Andrea and Jukka will be around, Torben probably not. What about the others?

Jody probably yes :-p

GeoPackage Community Module Upgrade

GeoCat has an opportunity to package this up as an extension for - yay!
What is ready to be packaged up …. GeoCat will make a GSIP proposal.

   -

   Idea is to propose taking functionality into WFS, WMS and WPS modules
   directly (rather than have an extension)
   -

   Anything not ready can stay in the community module


review


   -

   WFS: GeoPackageGetFeatureOutputFormat - good
   -

   WMS: GeoPackageGetMapOutputFormat - only okay, can generate too much
   stuff
   -

      Maybe if we reduced the zoom levels it could be safe, but the
      calculation is troubled
      -

      Now respects max rendering time - yay!
      -

   WPS: GeoPackage Process
   -

      Has a complex object as a single parameter - has its own geotools xml
      and bindings, and schema, ...
      -

      Ends up being slightly odd as result
      -

      Extensions - from test-bed experiment
      -

         GeoPackage Process refers to these directly
         -

         GenerlizedTables, PortrayalExtensions, SemanticAnnotations, …
         -

         These are good, but can stay as community module

Aside:

   -

   WPS output download extension also geopackage also …
   -

   Has its own thing, does not use WFS GeoPackageGetFeatureOutputFormat
   -

   Importer does not handle geopackage yet

Aside:

   -

   Grids are an RnD topic, may see some interest in the months ahead


Chit-Chat
