[Geoserver-devel] [Geotools-devel] Dropping the spatialite store?

Update:

Brad removed the store last week, here: https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/2190 (Thanks!).

I’ve removed the corresponding GeoServer community module just now.

Hello All,

Spatialite was discussed a bit in today’s PMC meeting, mainly with how it interacts with Java 11.
It is is not currently compatible with Java 11 (due to some split-package issues, and generally being old).

We would like to have a Java 11 Milestone release out sometime in December; Spatialite is currently not ready for this.

For the interim, I see two options:

  1. Remove spatialite from build until it is fully maintained again
  2. Move it to unsupported and remove from build until it is maintained again, then discuss returning to supported once it is maintained.

If Andrea is going to start taking a look at this module in January, then #2 seems to involve a bit too much unnecessary work.

Does anyone have objections do disabling the Spatialite module for now (prior to the upcoming Java 11 milestone release), and revisit re-enabling it prior to the official 21.0 release in the Spring?
Cheers,

Torben

Hi Andrea,

that’s very good news. Maybe we could have a skype meeting to talk about the module
status and maintenance? I could give you some hints about how the JDBC modules work.

that would be amazing, thank you.

If you want to take it over in January, ping us back then and let’s talk a bit about it.

Yes, even if I am tempted to run for it now, Foss4G-Asia is blocking
me to do so :smiley:

I will ping you as soon as I am ready and sure that I do not waste your time.

Cheers,
Andrea

Hi Andrea, Brad,
I have been thinking up and down this thing and as it happens, I then
lost the moment.

I would be willing to maintain the module in future, but I would
probably need someone to explain me its functionality in deep to make
sure I am able to do so. When it comes to native connections with
spatialite/rasterlite I have always used the latest compiled master,
so I am not sure what “stable” version can be made available.

So if Brad is willing to get me up and running (even better around mid
January as he suggests), I am quite sure I am able to maintain it from
there on.

Cheers,
Andrea

Lets see how much I can get done leading up to the RC (say by the end of the first week in January). If its still looking bad, we’ll demote it to community.

Hi all,

I see nobody jumped in to help Brad.

So, what do we do here?

Cheers

HI Brad,

well it’s a good start, thank you for that, we’d just need someone else to pitch in some maintenance effort.

Come on guys and gals, don’t be shy :-p

Cheers

I have some legacy with the main spatialite project (sometime committer, good relationship with Sandro), so I’ll take a look.

No promises, especially if the native code part is mixed, around supporting older versions of the data files.

And not an offer to maintain – I also have a lot of other projects and I don’t get work time for GT/GS.

Hi all,

the spatialite store has been in a sort of limbo for a while now, wondering if it’s time to drop it?

Issues that we have:

Persistent lack of a maintainer, after Justin left
Outdated spatialite library, the module has Spatialite 3 native libs baked into an older version of the sqlite driver
Conflict with the geopackage store, which is shipping a recent sqlite driver instead

If anyone would like to step up, I’d say the following would bring it up to a usable state:

Use the same sqlite driver as geopackage
Spatialite 4 (as far as I know) allows for dynamic linking, so set it up in a way that it works with dynamic linking with no pre-built binaries

Any takers?

Cheers

Andrea
