Neither, I think they should stay as they are. I was replying to Markus’
comment about replication.
GPL obliges us to provide the sources of the binaries we provide
OK. gotcha
This is what wingrass_sources.tar is
(at least for RC5, don’t know if you included other binaries in RC6…)
Yes, I updated source package with a new WinGRASS_Sources.zip file.
Actually I didn’t add other binaries in current WinGRASS package, but your source package, as built according to my building guide, did not include expat and gsl sources, while the WinGRASS package (and MSYS env) include them, just because they are needed for QGIS compilation and I don’t have enough time and machines to create different build environments for both GRASS and QGIS.

Hi Moritz,
I’m sorry, but I didn’t understand your message; do you mean that we
should put sources directly in the MSYS environment archive, or that whe
should put them into the binary package (installer)?
Neither, I think they should stay as they are. I was replying to Markus’
comment about replication.
GPL obliges us to provide the sources of the binaries we provide. We
provide binaries of packages in both the MSYS environment and in the
installer. We should, therefore, also provide a package of sources
corresponding to these binaries. This is what wingrass_sources.tar is
(at least for RC5, don’t know if you included other binaries in RC6…)

Everything is available at
http://geog-pc40.ulb.ac.be/grass/wingrass/wingrass_sources/
including the version of the GRASS sources you used (don’t think
this is necessary, but just to be complete). All packages are
available individually, and there also is a wingrass_sources.tar
which contains them all.
Maybe Markus can just get the tar and put it on the download
site
next to the installer ?
you mean: wingrass_sources.tar 13-Mar-2008
11:48 45M ?
Note that a big chunk of that is the GRASS source which is already on
the site, so it doesn’t need to be replicated. Just took that out and
now we are down to 29M.
I have copied your file wingrass_sources.tar (which should be better
gzip’ed, btw)
All it’s content is gzip’ed, so gzip’ing the .tar doesn’t make any
difference in terms of size…
also to
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass63/binary/mswindows/
Now we have there
- MSYS_Environment_080303.zip 03-Mar-2008 07:39 58M
- wingrass_sources.tar.gz 26-Mar-2008 01:39 28M
I feel that there is replication.
Why ?
the MSYS environment contains the environment needed to compile GRASS
binaries, including the binaries and headers of dependencies, but not
the source code of all these dependencies which is in wingrass_sources.
Where you have replication is between the MSYS environment file and the
binary installer, since both contain the binaries of the different
dependencies…
