[GRASS-dev] Need ideas for a masters thesis...

[David Townshend]

Hi all

I am looking for some advice for a master's thesis.  My field is civil
engineering (water, to be specific), but my interest is software and I'd
like to do something that would support open source, and be fun for me, i.e.
some programming.  I've had a couple of ideas so far, e.g. grass modules for
floodline analysis, possibly based on cfd.  But I'd like to do something
that would be useful to the Grass development team.  So does anyone have any
suggestions of software I can write, which would be technical enough to
satisfy the requirements of a masters thesis and support Grass development?

 The last letter or two of the name of each module is cut off (does not
 show) in the wxPython dialog. Changing the dialog window does not show the
 rest of the module name. It seems cut off by a qualifier (e.g.,
 "[raster]", or "[vector]") that now follows the module name.

 v.delaunay is still broken. It creates a mess of overlapping triangles in

 I am not sure. I used the former wingrass versions, but I realized this
 problem the first time in this version. But I am not sure that this
 problem was not there in the older versions. Is it possible to get
 somewhere the old binary installer (for the old versions), then I will
 install a older version to check for this problem.

That would explain it; you can use the -o flag to create files as the
current user/group rather than using the user/group from the tar file.

The NAME, KEYWORDS and SYNOPSIS sections are generated by the
--html-description flag; everything from DESCRIPTION onwards is copied
from the description.html or .html files. If the NAME,
KEYWORDS and SYNOPSIS sections are missing, then the --html-description
step failed.

It shouldn't be necessary. When dist. ends up containing files
or directories owned by another user, it's usually caused by the
Makefiles using the "tar c | tar x" idiom to copy a directory, which
is really laziness on our part. We should be using $(INSTALL), even if
that means a command for each directory.

Although the current Makefile uses the -o flag when extracting
demolocation it doesn't do this for "make install", and there's no
guarantee that -o works on other "tar" programs (the "tar" program
isn't specified by POSIX).

[GRASS-dev] sqlbuilder.py message issue

[Markus Neteler]

hi,

there is a message issue:

xgettext -k_ -o ./templates/grasswxpy.pot `find ../gui/wxpython -name
'*.py' | xargs grep -l "_(\""`
../gui/wxpython/gui_modules/sqlbuilder.py:77: warning: 'msgid' format
string with unnamed arguments cannot be properly localized:
   The translator
cannot reorder the arguments.
   Please consider
using a format string with named arguments,
   and a mapping
instead of a tuple for the arguments.

... not sure how to fix it.
