Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Good news: Ladies and gentlemen, Mapnik is there! Latest version, 2.2. This doesn't require neither geos nor rasterlite ;)

Bad news: It requires newer gcc/g++. 4.2.1 is simply too old. Options:
1. use thumb toolchain (current approach), upload to non-free (and possibly require modrana to be built with 4.7.2) [if only that damn autobuilder allowed to build against cssu...]
2. use gcc 4.6 from extras and therefore possibly require to build modrana against gcc 4.6
3. Push it into my own repo
4. could be probably a temporary workaround, but still a workaround
Modrana could have a separate version then - with use of mapnik, and a plain extras-devel without mapnik

What are your opinions, how will we handle that

Mapnik is right there

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

If something uses thumb-toolchain (especially, if it *requires* it to work), shouldn't it just land in thumb repos?

ModRana could just use it as optional "module" (plug-in, or whatever), with functionality present if Mapnik from thumb is present.

You Sir, are a rottweiler ... never giving up.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Wow, nice ! :D

Well, the modRana package is already shipping the monav routing server binary, so it would be possible to also bundle Mapnik this way. Not that nice as proper package and dependencies, but as long as it works... :)

Thanks a lot ! :) I'll check it out, try some simple map rendering and will report back with my findings.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

I guess including mapnik to the modRana package might not be a good idea. Imagine all those voices - "why don't my mapnik maps work...!? plzplzplzplz help"

What do you think about the methods I proposed?

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

I've noticed for some (short) time now that search no longer works. Not for addresses or POI (both custom or preset).

Anybody else seeing this or is this broken on my device only?

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

Search no longer seems to tolerate commas. I used to search like:

country, city, street

but now I have to search like

country city street ot just city street

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

So it still works for you?
Because here it doesn't, regardless of commas....

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 

The address search works for finnish locations, also finds for example Belgium and Lille. The POI search returns no hits, but I havent used it before, so I'm not sure how it is supposed to work.

Just a quick heads up, MartinK :) :
According to thp, starting with the 1.0.3.8 update, Sailfish now includes Python 3.3.3 and the PyOtherSide plugin.
