For upgrading a postgis-enabled db, refer to
/usr/local/share/doc/postgresql/postgis/README.postgis
Try using new_postgis_restore.pl instead of postgis_restore.pl
if it doesn't work.

MapServer is a system for developing web-based GIS applications.
The basic system consists of a CGI program that can be configured to
respond to a variety of spatial requests like making maps, scalebars,
and point, area and feature queries.
This port is splitted in 4 packages: -main contains the mapserv CGI,
-php contains the PHP Mapscript extension, -perl contains Mapscript perl
bindings and -utils contains various utilities and examples of use.

QGIS aims to be an easy to use GIS, providing common functions and
features. The initial goal was to provide a GIS data viewer, but now
it also permits to edit, create and analyze lots of spatial datas.
QGIS supports a number of raster and vector data formats, with new
support easily added using the plugin architecture.
with some tweaks by and ok ajacoutot@
- enable python bindings and utilities
- split package into -main and -python
- enable support for WMS/WFS through curl
- enable geos support
- enable postgis support through postgresql-client
(all this is needed by bigger incoming GIS ports)
looks good to pval@ (maintainer)
Gtk+ widget that when given GPS coordinates, draws a GPS track, and
points of interest on a moving map display. Downloads map data from a
number of websites, including openstreetmap.org, openaerialmap.org and
others.
Libchamplain is a C library aimed to provide a Gtk+ widget to display
rasterized maps.
* Display a map (OpenStreetMap Mapnik, OpenAerialMap,
Maps For Free Relief);
o Tiles are downloaded and cached
o Downloaded tiles fade in
* You can drag to move (a la Google Maps)
o without or with kinetic scrolling (a la iPhone)
o with elastic edges (a la iPhone)
* You can zoom in / out
* You can center the map on coordinates (longitude, latitude)
* Add markers on the map with a mixed Clutter/Champlain API
* Add layers of markers
* You can animate markers
(i forgot cvs doesn't like files/directories called 'core')

Libchamplain-gtk is a Gtk+ widget that wraps around libchamplain's ClutterActor.

Geoclue is a modular geoinformation service built on top of the D-Bus
messaging system. The goal of the Geoclue project is to make creating
location-aware applications as simple as possible.
Geoclue defines a set of geoinformation APIs, but it also includes some
providers that implement those APIs.
previous behaviour of using -O1 and -O0 for a couple of arch. -O1 is
much faster in operation, but this is a real beast to build.
package bumped. discussed with ckuethe.
* precise license
* add missing desktop-file-utils goo
* add PORTHOME to quiet up qmake4
* respect CXXFLAGS
* don't force -O3 optimisation
* install man pages where they belong

This module maps country names, and their 2-letter, 3-letter and
numerical codes, as defined by the ISO-3166 maintenance agency [1], and
defined by the UNSD.

GPS textbook and classic papers, such as solving for the user position or
estimating atmospheric refraction. It supports common GPS data formats such
as RINEX or SP3.
METAR reports are available on-line, thanks to the National Weather
Service. Since reading the METAR format isn't easy for non-pilots,
these reports are relatively useles to the common man who just wants a
quick glace at the weather. This module tries to parse the METAR
reports so the data can be used to create readable weather reports
and/or process the data in applications.

object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables"
the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial
database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's
SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS
"Simple Features Specification for SQL" and has been certified as
compliant with the "Types and Functions" profile.

Topology Suite (JTS). As such, it aims to contain the complete
functionality of JTS in C++. This includes all the OpenGIS "Simple
Features for SQL" spatial predicate functions and spatial operators,
as well as specific JTS topology functions such as IsValid().
