It doesn't have to be an official project in OSGeoLive.

PDAL is already in OSGeoLive as a dependency of GRASS (which libLAS was
as well).

Kind Regards,

Bas

Re: [OSGeoLive] Mapnik in OSGeoLive

Hi Dane,

I'd be keen to hear you expand on your comment below re suggesting 
Mapnik be removed from OSGeoLive.


From OpenHub metrics, it appears that Mapnik is still being maintained 
(although with decreased activity):


https://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html

Are there other projects which we should be recommending users look at 
instead? If so, which one?

Hello all,


Hi all,


During my work on the Quickstarts, a few things came up that I need to
raise more broadly. One of these was a comment Dane made about Mapnik:

"I recommend removing Mapnik from the project."


I think mapnik is still a relevant project and it should not be 
removed from osgeolive



I'm sharing this to start the conversation.

Thanks
Felicity

Thanks Howard,

I'm looping in the OSGeoLive list as it appears your email just bounced 
(due to not being subscribed).

Thanks Felicity and Howard for raising this. I trust Howard's advice 
on this, and support dropping libLAS.


Howard, others, can you recommend a person or people we could ask to 
be OSGeoLive's point of contact? This person would be  responsible 
for liaising with the PDAL community to keep docs and software on 
OSGeoLive up to date.


We'd need a PDAL installer, Project Overview and Quickstart before we 
include it on OSGeoLive.




I do not have the time or resources to support development of these 
things, but the person who does can steal most of it from the website 
as-is. A request for a volunteer to do so on the PDAL list might draw 
someone ought.


As far as installer, PDAL has switched to using Conda and Conda Forge 
as its primary binary distribution mechanism. Presumably the linux 
conda environment  could be gathered up and provided without 
modification.


Hope this helps,

Howard
