Hi Seth,
Thank you for your efforts!
You have my +1.
The only issue I see is about using an external version of OpenLayers.
This would fail without an internet connection. Can we patch it to use
the GeoExt version?
Cheers,
Angelos

Hi all,
I'd like to propose re-adding MapCache back to OSGeoLive, and I have completed
the installer, and project overview and quickstart.
I realise this is very late in the release cycle for v13 so this can be left
for a future release. I'm willing to test/review thoroughly on a beta if there
is a desire to add to v13. MapCache is already available via Debian packaging
which may make its inclusion possible.
The docs are at https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/pull/475
The OSGeoLive install script is at https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/269
The page at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Apply has a list of
questions with regards to adding a new project to OSGeoLive - answers to these
questions (where applicable) are below.
What is its name?
MapCache
What does the application do and how does it add value to the GeoSpatial stack
of software?
MapCache is a server that implements tile caching. It is part of the MapServer
family, and was started in 2011. It has previously been on older versions of
OSGeoLive, but I believe was dropped due to lack of documentation. The pull
requests above aim to address this. Packaging is already in Debian for MapCache
1.6.1.
What is the home page URL?
https://mapserver.org/mapcache/
Which OSI approved Open Source Licence is used?
MIT style license - https://mapserver.org/copyright.html#license
Does the application make use of OGC standards? Which versions of the
standards? Client or server?
Uses OGC standards - WMS, WMTS, WMS - client and server
What language is it written in?
C
Which version of the application should be included in the next OSGeo-Live
release?
1.6.1
Has the application been rolled out to production into risk (ideally risk
adverse) organisations?
Yes
What is the Open HUB URL for your project?
https://www.openhub.net/p/mapcache
What is the size of your developer community?
8 developers have contributed in the last year
What is the size of the user community?
The mailing list is shared with MapServer so hard to guage exactly.
Please discuss the level of testing that your project has gone through.
8 years in production systems. A small test suite at
https://github.com/mapserver/mapcache/tree/master/tests
How much disk space will be required to install the application and a suitable
example application?
Packages are listed at
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntugis-unstable/+packages
With all files the total install should be < 5MB
Who will act as the project's liaison person?
I'm willing to act as the project liaison.
How long has the project has had mature code?
Since 2011
Do you have a bug free, stable release?
Yes (although some open issues as with every project)
If anyone has any further questions please send them on and I'll attempt to
answer them.
Regards,
Seth
