In our quest to make gpkg a default open data format... should it not be
in core instead of extenstion? Or is it just not stable enough?
Just switched from community to extension in geotools as a store, the
geoserver output
formats need serious love imho before getting into
extension. If the current module is split into four parts, I believe the
various bits could
move at different speeds:
- As a data store: as I see it, could be extension today with some UI
work
- As a WFS output format, needs some more testing but does not look that
bad, could be extension material soon
- As a WMS output format... imho some serious work is needed here (there
was a thread about this months ago)
- As a WPS process... unsure, did not look into it
One thing: why not browse to a gpkg file (just like a shp) instead of
giving a file:///home/richard/geodata/foo.gpkg url and no
password/usernamen etc?
For the file browser, because that requires a custom user interface to be
built for it, like we have it for shapefiles.
The username/password do require some underlying work in the datastore
implementation (hopefully not mutch,
it seems it's half implemented, but not reachable from the datastore
factory).
Long story short, to get to core it needs more investment first, and then
time and proven significant and succesfull
user base later.
