[GRASS5] v.in.mif currently broken ?

Hi all,

Am I correct in understanding that v.in.mif is currently broken ?
If yes, what are the alternatives ?

Moritz

Moritz,

The current code is not usable at all. It is disabled from the default
build so will not appear in binary releases. A module based on existing
modules like v.in.shape is in development, but key parts still have to
be coded, tested etc, so it is not ready for the stable release, which
is now effectively frozen.

v.in.shape is now hopefully fully functional and stable, so one way is
to use third party utilities like Mitab and OGR to convert various other
kinds to shapefiles, and import that way.

I commented out the corresponding line for v.in.mif in lists/GRASS
because of the information below.
