As I said, v.rast.stats2 is meant to be a replacement for v.rast.stats: yes.

ok, thanks for the refresher. Mainly I am interested to know if
the replacement preserves backwards compatibility both in terms
of CLI and (meaingful) numerical results, and if it doesn't, what
work is needed so that it does. i.e. to the end-user will the
upgrade be invisible except that it runs a lot faster now?

2011-09-02 Thread Maris Nartiss
I added an extra warning in r48072 to tcl/tk startup screen [1] as it
seems to not be possible to get GRASS running on Windows if user name
contains non-latin letters. I strongly suggest to add extra error
checking and implement a similar error message in wxgui startup screen
too and close #995 as CANTFIX MS-WINDOWS BROKEN BY DESIGN [2].

Maris.

PS. I would like to see r44890 in 6.4.2, as it has been doing just
fine in 6.5 and waiting in backport queue for long time (8 months).

I hardly dare propose using v.rast.stats to students in its current

Cool. I backported both r48007 and r48008 to my local 6.4 and it
works for me.

Small obstacle: some (many?) formats come with predefined extension,
others not. If that could be completely populated to have one default
extension per format, that would be perfect. I can help to populate the
list. Or just do that for those extensions not being delivered from GDAL? I am
not sure why some have a default extension and others not.

The list of default GDAL raster extensions is coded here:
grep GDAL_DMD_EXTENSION frmts/*/*.cpp
frmts/aaigrid/aaigriddataset.cpp:poDriver->SetMetadataItem(
GDAL_DMD_EXTENSION, "asc" );
frmts/adrg/adrgdataset.cpp:poDriver->SetMetadataItem(
GDAL_DMD_EXTENSION, "gen" );
frmts/adrg/srpdataset.cpp:poDriver->SetMetadataItem(
GDAL_DMD_EXTENSION, "img" );
...

and for OGR:
grep CPLGetExtension ogr/ogrsf_frmts/*/*.cpp | grep pszFilename
ogr/ogrsf_frmts/aeronavfaa/ograeronavfaadatasource.cpp:
!EQUAL(CPLGetExtension(pszFilename), "dat") )
ogr/ogrsf_frmts/bna/ogrbnadatasource.cpp:if( !(EQUAL(
CPLGetExtension(pszFilename), "bna" )
ogr/ogrsf_frmts/dwg/ogrdwgdatasource.cpp:if(
!EQUAL(CPLGetExtension(pszFilename),"dwg") )
...

Maybe not really helpful but to populate/check the list.

I cannot reproduce it with 6.4.2, when changing format selected
directory is not changed or cleared. Anyway I found another bug, when
changing format list of layers should be reloaded respectively. It
should be fixed in devbr6 (r48007). Please test it, then it could be
backported to relbr64. I have created ticket for this issue [1].

Yes, something like in the "downloadthemAll" Firefox extension would be neat.

Regarding the import/link dialogs, I had a look at GdalImportDialog in
gdialogs.py. Maybe the easiest would be to replace the format selector
with a simple text field where the user can enter a file extension
which will then be used to filter files, plus a button to apply the
filter.

Otherwise the import dialog must come up with a list of all possible
file name extensions associated to a GDAL/OGR format. Bearing in mind
that e.g. Linux does not need any file name extensions and extensions
can be completely arbitrary, the import dialog can not possibly be
clever enough to cater for all possibilities.

Just a suggestion,

If raster importer and graphical modeler are removed, then it seems from other 
posts that all blocker items are resolved. We we want to consider keeping 
either of these, it sounds from the error report that the raster importer bug 
may be relatively easy to fix. The modeler is very cool but still in 
development AFAICT. I'll try some more testing. In any case, the modeler must 
have docs before any real release.

critical is only wxVdigit which was planned for 6.4.2...

bug-fix, backport for 6.4.2 should be done.

enhancement, I would in incline to backport for 6.4.2. For any case
digitizer is quite unstable (please test it, report bugs or wished on
trac).

to correct a bit: I am applying patches in all active branches only in
the first half of release circle, ie. 2(3) months after 6.4.1 has been
released (April). Since July only bug-fixes should go to relbr64. For
features which have been introduced in April/May/June you have at
least 3 months for testing.

Some of the new wxGUI features are experimental. If we decide on
feature freeze, these features must be removed. If we decide on
keeping and fixing them, this will delay the 6.4.2 release because the
time needed to fix them is a function of the number of devs looking at
these features x the time these devs have x the complexity of these
features.

New features in the wxGUI are often applied to all branches at once
and haven't enjoyed a lot of testing. IMHO this is a question of
keeping this door to 6.4.2 open or close it.

The new raster importer is fairly new and experimental and somehow
sneaked into 6.4.2
The standard r.in.gdal GUI works fine.

I tend to say --> won't fix or worksforme because in MS Windows you
have to set the focus manually to a window before you can use arrow
keys / pgup / pgdown / tab to navigate between fields within that
window. If that is changed, the default OS behaviour is changed which
is probably causing confusion and trouble.

I've committed patches for grass64, grass65, grass79 for the path issue and
tested an a few
win-boxes. work here, but a little more testing is welcomed.

[GRASS-dev] tickets to solve for GRASS 6.4.2 release

2011-08-31 Thread Markus Metz
Hi all,

the list of blocker and critical tickets for 6.4.2 is reassuringly short:

#1158   Removing vector map in Windows fails with "Unable to delete vector map"
  --> fixed, awaits confirmation

#1380   GRASS6.4.1 WX-Python GUI, menu does not work at all
  --> probably fixed, awaits confirmation

#995WxGUI startup screen fails if GISDBASE path contains non-latin 
characters
  --> needs testing with current svn

#1110   v.rast.stats locks up on wingrass
  --> I would suggest to replace v.rast.stats with v.rast.stats2 from
addons with has enjoyed more maintenance and testing in the last
months. Or port some fixes from v.rast.stats2 to v.rast.stats,
particularly r43910.

#1132   wxNviz and wxVdigit missing from 6.4svn
  --> is this really critical for 6.4.2? nviz and v.digit are working AFAIK

#1184   "d.vect display=attr" imply grass open process but doesn't close them.
  --> most probably fixed together with #1158 because it is the same
problem of the DBMI driver not shutting down

#1358   WinGRASS 6.4.1: SQLite driver errors: `Unable to open database'
  --> needs testing with current svn

#1388   r3.univar gives bad results for cell counts
  --> fixed in June 2011 in all branches, awaits confirmation

2 are open: #995, #1358, one ticket (#1132) may need re-evaluation of
the priority, the remaining tickets are fixed, awaiting confirmation.
The only blocker is #1380 because #1158 is fixed.
