-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi
1. good news: I debugged AtlasStyler and Geopublisher today a OSGeoLive system and fixed all the problems reported. AS and GP now have no more problems when opening a Shapefile without a .fix spatial index from a read-only drive - it doesn't try to create the index anymore. 2. The problem with read-only and .fix lies in Geotools, so it affects uDig also. 3. I created a patch for Geotools (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-3245) but it is not yet reviewed. Options are: A: Get the patch into Geotools and make a new release of Geotools and uDig Advantage: No big changes on the OSGeo side. Disadvantage: Lots of work for Jody. uDig, Geopublisher, AtlasStyler and will not profit from a spatial index when working with the demo shapefile data. B: Create .fix indexes during build after the Shapefiles are unzipped and while the drive is still read-write. .fix are Geotools-specific, so ogr doesn't create these files. We need a command line tool to add .fix indexes if we want it to be done in 'bin/loadgisdata.sh'. Such a tool doesn't exists yet... So i added a command line option to AtlasStyler 1.5 that does exactly that. So for option B, we have to do only one thing: Add a line to 'bin/install_atlasStyler' that will add a spatial index to all shapefiles in the $DATA_FOLDER: >find $DATA_FOLDER -iname "*.shp" -exec atlasstyler "addFix={}" \; This REQUIRES that 'bin/loadgisdata.sh' is run before install_AtlasStyler.sh is run. Actually install_Gisdata is setting the data read-only already. So in the install_AtlasStyler.sh i will have to change the permissions twice.. something not so nice. Advantage: No quick re-releasing of Geotools and uDig just for one patch two days after the last release. Disadvantage: Some unorthodox modifications on the install scripts. A or B ? Waiting for feedback.
