[GRASS-user] 6.4 Release Candidate versions

Dear Grasslist

Quick query - are there any plans to provide Grass 6.4 binaries in the
current Ubuntu LTS format? Unfortunately this is still Ubuntu 8.04 with
the next LTS not due until the middle of 2010.

Many thanks
Roy

you'd have to check with the UbuntuGIS team.

6.4 RC5 for Hardy is available and I use it. I don't know of any plans
not to keep it up to date until the next LTS comes out.

And yes the UbuntuGIS mailing list is the place to keep up on that stuff.

Hi Folks,

I am working with series of old topographical maps, rangnig from 10 to 600 map sheets per map. Each sheet is discolored a bit from age. How can I process a complete series in such a way that there are no differences visible any more between map sheets? Preferably I would like to downsample them to 8 bits color table, as the originals only have a small set of colors. In other words: how do I calibrate s set of maps to the same optimal color table?

This is probably better done with general image-processing software,
e.g. pnmquant (from the Netpbm package) or "convert -colors ..." (from
ImageMagick).
