[Ubuntu] QGIS: unsupported SAGA version after last update -- ubuntugis-unstable channel
Hello to everybody, I use the ubuntugis-unstable and this week i upgraded all the ubuntugis packages. I saw the saga was updated to version 7.3.0. Unfortunately QGIS doesn't recognize this version and saga plugings aren't in sextante anymore. In the logs i find "2019-07-22T20:44:40 CRITICALProblem with SAGA installation: unsupported SAGA version (found: 7.3.0, required: 2.3.). My distro is Ubuntu 18.04. Please, could you check this problem? Thanks Domenico Mozzanica ___ UbuntuGIS mailing list Ubuntu@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki

SAGA 2.3.x was hopelessly outdated, and freezing that branch and dub it LTS didn't really work out. It didn't break qgis often, but it also didn't backport fixes to keep up with changes in the system. See how much grief it caused in Fedora for example. If projects when their processing plugin to not break when their project is upgraded, they need to provide a stable API that QGIS can use. If your project cannot do that, it shouldn't be a QGIS plugin. The SAGA update is required to unblock to transition to PROJ 6, which is much more important than keeping the QGIS plugin working. It sucks for QGIS users of the SAGA plugin, you should voice your complaints to SAGA upstream.

Dear Sebastiaan, thank for your explanation. I'll contact the SAGA team for this problem. I hope they will fix it, as using SAGA by a plugin in QSIG it's powerfull and very convenient.

Re: [Ubuntu] QGIS: unsupported SAGA version after last update -- ubuntugis-unstable channel
Domenico, Ubuntu 18.04 actually contains saga 2.3 in the universe repository. I'm currently on holidays without access to a ubuntu machine, but you could try sth like apt install -t universe saga (someone with a bionic around, please check). This should force the old version. It was actually in discussion with QGis that the decision was made to make 7.3 the new LTR version. It should be quite easy to make processing support this version, most modules would probably still work anyway.

Domenico, There is a QGIS plugin for QGIS higher than 3.4 that works with SAGA 7.2. It is called SAGA nextgen. It works as is under Windows with SAGA 7.3, and I'm pretty sure it would work in Ubuntu if you change the provider.py file so that REQUIRED_VERSION = '7.2.' becomes REQUIRED_VERSION = '7.3.'. Hope this helps. Pieter ___ UbuntuGIS mailing list Ubuntu@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
