[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7 addons

Hello,

I have some software tools that rely on GRASS addons. I'm starting to test my tools with GRASS 7, and I've found that one of the add-ons, r.findtheriver, which I wrote, installs fine under GRASS 7. However another, r.soils.texture, is not in the GRASS 7 addon repo; perhaps this addon is not compatible?

I may have missed a message about this, but what was the process by which GRASS 6 addons were migrated to GRASS 7? Is there a list of addons that are incompatible with GRASS 7? What's the process for getting a formerly incompatible addon into the GRASS 7 repo? (assuming myself or someone else fixes the compatibility issues)

Thanks,

Brian

right, first module is there [1], the second module I found only for
GRASS 6 [2], so it must be ported to GRASS 7.

Migration is up to a maintainer or a user how need this module. The
list of modules for GRASS 6 [3], GRASS 7 [4].

Interesting. I don’t recall putting r.findtheriver in the GRASS 7 addon’s repo when I contributed it to the GRASS 6 addons repo. I’m not sure how it made its way into the GRASS 7 repo.

Gianluca, are you planning/able to port r.soils.texture to GRASS 7?
