SpatiaLite is an open source library intended to extend the SQLite core
to support fully fledged Spatial SQL capabilities. It provides a
complete and powerful Spatial DBMS (mostly OGC-SFS compliant).
It is to sqlite what postgis is to postgresql.
freexl-1.0.0e: extract valid data from within an Excel spreadsheet
readosm-1.0.0b: library to extract data from OSM files
libspatialite-4.0.0: sqlite extented with spatial SQL capabilities
libgaiagraphics-0.5: common-utility raster handling methods, used by spatialite_gui
librasterlite-1.1f: store rasters coverages within spatialite, used byspatialite_gis
spatialite-tools-4.0.0: CLI tools for spatialite
spatialite_gis-1.0.0c: minimalistic GIS on top of spatialite and rasterlite
spatialige_gui-1.6.0: GUI for spatialite

The purpose of this library is to provide:
* An extensible framework that will support robust spatial indexing
methods.
* Support for sophisticated spatial queries. Range, point location,
nearest neighbor and k-nearest neighbor as well as parametric queries
(defined by spatial constraints) should be easy to deploy and run.
* Easy to use interfaces for inserting, deleting and updating
information.
* Wide variety of customization capabilities. Basic index and storage
characteristics like the page size, node capacity, minimum fan-out,
splitting algorithm, etc. should be easy to customize.
* Index persistence. Internal memory and external memory structures
should be supported. Clustered and non-clustered indices should be
easy to be persisted.

gconf_ping() will try to shutdown gconfd, but since installing pkg is
done as root, there is not gconfd nor dbus that can be started when
DISPLAY isn't set and an annoying warning is issued.

Doesnt need boost anymore to build, drop useless g++3 patches, depend on
gdal. From kirby@ : remove duplicated qt4 from LIB_DEPENDS, set
SHARED_ONLY and merge PFRAG.shared into PLIST.
- add build dep on ImageMagick/docbook-xsl/libxslt to build the documentation
- dont install the utils anymore, they're not maintained and were barely
useful. postgis_restore.pl is in share/postgresql/contrib/postgis-2.0 now
- provide a complete do-regress target taking care of creating/starting/tearing
down a temporary database
- 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis' is now the simpler way to spatially-enabled a db
- add a README explaining how to LD_PRELOAD libpthread.so in postgresql since
it's required by postgis
- take maintainership from eric@ since he doesn't use it anymore
- see http://www.postgis.org/news/20120403/ for the list of new features
in the 2.x branch.
FoxtrotGPS is an offshoot of Marcus Bauer's excellent Free & Open Source
tangoGPS application, with a focus on cooperation and fostering
community innovation. By default maps tiles are downloaded from the
Openstreetmap project. Map tiles are automatically downloaded and cached
for offline use. To get real-time positioning from a GPS receiver you
need to run gpsd.
