Re: [Ubuntu] QGIS: unsupported SAGA version after last update -- ubuntugis-unstable channel

2019-07-24 Thread Domenico Mozzanica
Dear Pieter,
your workaround works also in Ubuntu 18.04 with ubuntugis-unstable.
The connection from Saga to Qgis is OK, and i run some  script successfully
without any problem, so SAGA nextgen is a solution at the moment. I hope
they will continue to mantain the plugin as this project is very young.

I also found another plugin named Saga for processing 0.3.1 (
https://plugins.bruy.me/plugins/plugins.xml). This plugin unfortunately
doesn't work as expected as i run into multiple error executing some
processing script.

Thanks for your support

Domenico Mozzanica

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.

Kind Regards,
Johan

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.

Kind Regards,
Domenico Mozzanica

No. Such is the fate of processing plugins.

SAGA 2.3.x was hopelessly outdated, and freezing that branch and dub it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.

Kind Regards,

Bas
