packages providing GIS infrastructure and miscellanea
OSGEO Infrastructure and miscellanea
Debian packages for a GIS infrastructure and miscellanea
FIXME: Idea from
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_icons_and_menus.sh#L34
but needs enhancement
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian GIS Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian GIS which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian GIS
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian GIS mailing list

OpenLayers is a pure JavaScript library for displaying map data in
most modern web browsers, with no server-side dependencies.
OpenLayers implements a JavaScript API for building rich web-based
geographic applications, similar to the Google Maps and MSN Virtual
Earth APIs.

Mapnik is an OpenSource C++/Python toolkit for developing GIS
(Geographic Information Systems) applications. At the core is a C++
shared library providing algorithms/patterns for spatial data access and
visualization.
Essentially a collection of geographic objects (map, layer, datasource,
feature, geometry), the library doesn't rely on "windowing systems" and
is intended to work in multi-threaded environments
High-level Python bindings (boost.python) facilitate rapid application
development, targeting zope3, django, etc.
This package contains miscellaneous utilities distributed with mapnik:
shapeindex: program to creates file system based index for ESRI shape-files

R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists
of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger,
access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs
stored in script files.
The design of R has been heavily influenced by two existing languages:
Becker, Chambers & Wilks' S and Sussman's Scheme. Whereas the
resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, the underlying
implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme.
The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows
branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions.
Most of the user-visible functions in R are written in R. It is
possible for the user to interface to procedures written in the
C, C++, or FORTRAN languages for efficiency, and many of R's core
functions do so. The R distribution contains functionality for a
large number of statistical procedures and underlying applied math
computations. There is also a large set of functions which provide
a flexible graphical environment for creating various kinds of data
presentations.
Additionally, several thousand extension "packages" are available from
CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network, many also as Debian packages,
named 'r-cran-'.
This package is a metapackage which eases the transition from the
pre-1.5.0 package setup with its larger r-base package. Once installed, it
can be safely removed and apt-get will automatically upgrade its components
during future upgrades. Providing this package gives a way to users to
then only install r-base-core if they so desire.
The package is enhanced by the following packages:

Tilemill is a map design studio for creating custom interactive maps. Data
can be imported, layered and styled, and legends added to the map. The map
can be exported to several formats and easily embedded into a website.
Compatible datasources include ESRI Shapefile, KML, GeoJSON, GeoTIFF,
PostGIS, CSV, and SQLite. For styling the maps, TileMill uses a language
called CartoCSS. Colors, sizes, and shapes can all be manipulated by
applying their relative CartoCS parameters. It is possible to export
pannable, zoomable maps, and static maps in PNG, PDF, and SVG format. For
advanced users, it is possible to export in Mapnik XML format, and exports
can be scripted from the command line.
