We ship pyspatialite - that's not available everywhere and in case we're using internal spatialite it should be built against that version. > I think it would be good to have clear policy on this. Well, I don't have a good idea what thise clear policy could be. I'd say there should be a compelling reason why third party dependencies are included. pyspatialite is there because of internal spatialite. Maybe that can be reconsidered too. I doubt that anything uses internal spatialite anymore and there also pysqlite that could be used with spatialite instead of pyspatialite. owslib is not available everywhere - also AFAIK it's closely releated to MetaSearch and has the same upstream. Everything else could be removed from ext-libs AFAICS. Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
