#3092: Include experimental modules in GRASS --------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: rkrug | Owner: grass-dev@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.2.0 Component: Default | Version: unspecified Keywords: addon module beta experimental | CPU: All Platform: All | --------------------------------------------+------------------------- Based on the discussion on grass-dev http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/70427 the suggestion came up to add experimental / beta / alpha modules (addons, ...) to GRASS. As these modules are not stable / extensively used or tested yet and their interfaces and functionality can change, I would suggest the following mechanism:
1) add [experimental] / [beta] / ... behind the in the menu 2) disable the experimental / beta / ... addons by default 3) add an option to enable all the experimental / beta / ... addons, which can than state "experimental, might make your computer explode, use at own risk and only in well ventilated rooms"... By doing this, not extensively tested addons can be shipped with GRASS and get exposure to wider testing. On the other hand, they would only be available when explicitely asked for and informed about their non-stable natire. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/3092> GRASS GIS <https://grass.osgeo.org> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
