[gentoo-dev] Geographic Information System team ?

Hi all,
	I'm new on this list, so I quickly present myself. I currently work 
for the entreprise 01map which is specialised on providing a Geographic 
Information System solution, this is done principaly for the french 
administrations (as for exemple the Environment Ministery 
http://carto.languedoc-roussillon.environnement.gouv.fr/ in french only 
sorry ... ). We are especialy involved in the postgis development for 
which we contribute (Gerald Fenoy and Jean David Techer are from 
01map), but also with all the dependanced projects as for instance : 
mapserver.

	I would like to know if there is any GIS team (not for Gentoo 
Installation System but for Geographic Information System ...) or any 
effort on that way ?

	Indeed, I could see that the postgis ebuild is so old, we currently 
work with the 1.0 version but the postgis ebuild is for 0.7 version ...
	I've also seen that there is some purposes to include the postgis 
directly into the postgresql ebuild, but do you know that the futurs 
versions (it's already the case for the cvs one) don't need at all the 
postgresql sources to compile it ?
	
	Futhermore the postgis ebuild is used but there is no geos ebuild in 
portage (but I've already made it too) so postgis will be less usefull 
as it could be with it (geos provide functionalities for using all 
known projections systems).

	With our "postgis developers" team we have also made an update of the 
qgis ebuild to work with the lastest postgis version (which has the 
geos support) ebuild we also made.

	To conclude I give you the tree of our work on the Geographic 
Information System :
	
	dev-db/postgis
	dev-db/postgis-cvs
	sci-libs/geos
	sci-geosciences/mapserver
	sci-geosciences/cartoweb (which use the webapp-config system)
	
	here is the list of the ebuilds developped by others contributors of 
our independant project :
	
	sci-geosciences/qgis


	I hope that you've understand my query to create a new team specialy 
involved  on developping and *maintaining* more GIS relatives ebuilds.

	Cordialy.

5 Packages seem to be too few for a separate herd.

Maybe you are also interested in GPS related pkgs?

Do they have to do anything with GIS at all?

See this post for gps:

You might want to subscribe to the gentoo-science list, where this is
more relevant.

Thanks,
