One good thing that we have been discussing, related to this move, is
that for LiDAR tools, it should be possible to have a plugin that has
not just the code of the Processign provider, but the binaries as
well, so installing the plugin would add the algorithms to Processing
without any need to configure the paths to LASTools and FUSION
binaries, since they can be harcoded. If there is a change in the
binaries (such as an update), and the provider code has to be changed,
a new release can be made, independently of the QGIS release cycle
(unlike it happens now)
I think this is an interesting topic to discuss, and that's why I
wanted to send this email to get more feedback.
Thanks for your ideas!
One thing to keep in mind is that not all the LIDAR tools are open
sources, 2/3 of the LAStools aren't and slightly distort the output
after certain point limits are exceeded. My opinion is that QGIS
shouldn't ship or assist the distribution of closed binaries.
