Hi,

taking the liberty of fwd'd Tim's email here, as the basic idea
can be quite an important one for maintainers of cadastral data.

Paper-trails of changes and formal metadata hooks (eg for INSPIRE)
remain major missing features in GRASS.

regards,
Hamish

Hello,
GeoGit seems to be a real nice addition to ou toolboxes:

http://geogit.org/
Distributed Version Control for Geospatial Data
View project on
GitHub
Welcome to the GeoGit project, exploring the use of distributed
management of spatial data. GeoGit draws inspiration from Git, but
adapts its core concepts to handle versioning of geospatial data. Users
are able to import raw geospatial data (currently from Shapefiles,
PostGIS or SpatiaLite) in to a repository where every change to the data
is tracked. These changes can be viewed in a history, reverted to older
versions, branched in to sandboxed areas, merged back in, and pushed to
remote repositories.

Now they plan to get into Debian:
Debian installer
https://github.com/opengeo/GeoGit/issues/365

How is packaging of java based applications done?

regards,
Timmie

Thanks for sharing, indeed it is interesting approach and I think we’ll be testing it.

Paper-trails of changes and formal metadata hooks (eg for INSPIRE)
remain major missing features in GRASS.

What’s your idea? Perhaps could be worth to start a wiki page for discussing about it. Just a thought.

Answering to myself:
Actually there is a wiki page for that: http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Metadata_Management

I’d say let’s start over from there.
