[Geoserver-devel] Update EPSG-database?

Hi,

I did not mean right now and not for 2.5 but just generally. What you say seems to mean that the more versions we skip the more work there will be with the checks and coding and the more mistakes will happen.

Hi,

GS 2.5 beta seems to come with EPSG database version 7.0 from August, 2011. The latest one is 8.3 from November 2013 and there has been 4 versions in between. Have we considered updating?

Too busy to even consider it these days (and too late for 2.5 anyways)

It would be nice though, but it’s not trivial, it’s not just updating the database,

EPSG changes the meaning of some projection params during the upgrades,

so one also has to go though the release notes, check what changed,

and updated the code. So not something that can be done during a feature freeze

So true. At the same time it's not something that anybody is interested in
sponsoring,
so what normally happens is that I throw away a couple of weekends doing it.
Lately I had other fishes to fry.

A thought stemming from this - Is there a page/document somewhere that states what version all the components of GeoServer are? I’m not so much on about GeoTools and GWC (those are in the “About GeoServer” page after all), but the “little” things like OpenLayers, EPSG catalog, Wicket, PNGJ, TurboJpeg and the many more parts I don’t know about?

This would make it easier to keep track of how old what components are and thus what bugs/security-vulns GeoServer is susceptible to.

Maybe there is one but I just couldn’t find it.
Cheers,
Jonathan

No, there is no such a document, but we have a REST api call that should
give you the full list of jars and versions contained
in a GeoServer:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/rest/api/manifests.html

Hi Andrea,
Interesting, thanks for that. I knew GeoServer had lots of parts, but that’s a very long list.
