Hi Viji Nair,

I am the GRASS GIS coordinator and would like to thank you for your
efforts!

One question:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=grass.git

indicates that a very old GRASS version is packaged, it lacks more than
9000 fixes and enhancements with respect to the current stable version
which is GRASS 6.4.0:

http://grass.osgeo.org/download/software.php#g64x

Whom to contact to get the current 6.3.x-FC replaced with 6.4?

thanks for any advice,

Markus Neteler

Hi,

I am a Fedora project contributor and have been working on Linux for the
last 10+ years, specifically on GIS projects for the last 4+ years.

We are adding more GIS application to fedora. If everything goes fine,
there will a GIS/Geo spin for Fedora 15. Please have a look at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Geo_Spin
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GIS

The following new packages have been pushed for Fedora 13/14 and rawhide
(F15), currently under testing.

pgRouting (Provides routing functionality to PostGIS/PostgreSQL)
tilecache (A web map tile caching system)

To test:
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install python-tilecache
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install pgRouting

If you are interested in becoming a contributor, we are very happy.
Please
feel free to contact me if you have any queries.

Thanks
