[GRASS5] pre-test GRASS 5beta11pre1

Dear Pretesters,

time has come to publish beta11... :slight_smile:

http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grass5/source/

I would like to ask you to test this tarball.

For Linux I will put out a binary tarball later this day.

NOTE:
The LZW-compression is removed from GRASS floating point
raster maps and G3D maps. Means: You have to convert
*all* FP and G3D maps. Plain CELL (Integer) maps are not affected.

See announcement and link to conversion tool here:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/announces/announce_lzw_removal.html

The conversion tool r.lzw2z runs pretty well now.

Thanks in advance for testing the new package,

Markus

Hallo Markus,

danke fĂĽr die Arbeit:

Bitte mach die Warnung in dem ftp Verzeichniss deutlicher!
Wolltest Du nicht nur sourcen rausgeben, damit sich nur wirklich die
Entwickler dran beteiligen?

Hello Markus,
thanks for the hard work.
Please make the Warning in the ftp directory more visable.
Didn't you plan to only release a source tarball, so that
only developer can really pretest?

O.k., I will delay the binaries as requested.

But the binaries should be tested as well, therefore I was thinking
to publish the as "beta11pre1".

As we do expect minor configuration bugs in the beta11pre1 release,
the binaries will change anyway. There is no point in releasing
them, because the target audience should be able to produce binaries
anyway.

Hi all,

After Markus Neteler all ready solved one of my problems I came up with in the
beta11pre1 here is one more:

GRASS compiled and installed fine, but running d.vect from tcltk
(Display->Vector->display vector map) results in a "zombi" that I have to
kill before the tcltk interface can be stopped. Here the result of ps ax:

4870 pts/3 S 0:00 sh ./grass5
4873 pts/3 S 0:00 sh /opt/grassb11p1//grass5/etc/Init.sh
4886 pts/3 S 0:00 wish /opt/grassb11p1//grass5/bin/tcltkgrass
4901 ? R 1:10 x0 /opt/grassb11p1//grass5/dev/fifo.1a
/opt/grassb11p1//grass5/dev/fifo.1b

I hope someone understands this. If you need further info I will try to answer.
By the way, the vector I used for testing works fine in the CVS dating
08/01/2001...

Thanks everyone,

Arne

Where's the zombie? I see three sleeping processes (S) and one runnable
(R). Are you referrering to the "?" for x0? That just means it doesn't
have a controlling terminal. The GRASS monitors are kind of funky, but
if you select Display->Monitors->Stop->x[0-6] or "All", it will signal
x[n] to shut down. TclTkGrass also has an option to stop all monitors
at shutdown (good to just leave always "checked").
