Hi Bas, Hi any other packages who might want to weigh in,
I have a small question concerning the best way to include a very small
dataset into the distribution of GRASS GIS. We are currently working on
the revamping of the GRASS GIS GUI startup experience, and have the
currently proposed solution is that GRASS GIS could start up
automatically creating a grassdata database and a default lat-long
location which would contain just a simple NaturalEarth world country
boundaries dataset.
In some OS (e.g. MS Windows), such a demolocation is included in the
distribution, but in Debian it is deleted before installation (IIUC what
happens in the rules file at [1]).
IIRC, Debian does normally not allow data to be distributed with
binaries. One option would be to put the data directly into the Python
code creating this location. Would that be acceptable for Debian ? What
kind of solution would you recommend ?
Thanks for any hints you can give us !
Moritz
