Hi Scott,
Over my slow internet connection, it took 3.5+ hours to download
the 33+ Mb v.12 grass_src.tgz file. I don't relish the idea
of spending 5+ hrs. more to obtain the latest update, yet I'd
like to get some of new features (the new start scripts in
tcltkgrass, proj4.3, ps.map, d.vect.cats).
yes, I know this problem.
I hate to ask this of you, because it will increase your
workload (but maybe it's an easy thing to do). Would it be
difficult to provide a "patch" update, so I (or we in the GRASS
User community) could get the new features and update the
directories and files that changed?
Thanks for your your consideration of my request,
Scott O'Donnell
The thing is that I am doing all the work on GRASS in my
free time without any support beside the great help of
the other programmers. Even it is all done at home,
with my small capacities etc.
That means I really enjoy GRASS development. But my day only
has got 24 hours :). So my suggestion is following:
Is there anybody out there in the GRASS-community, who could
create such update-packages? She/he could keep the current but
one and the current version and create "recursive diffs" or
similar from that. I have space on the webserver to store the
resulting update-package (delivering to me through my ftp-site).
What do you think?
