------- Additional Comments From kms@passback.co.uk 2007-07-06 17:14 EST ------- In response to the question in comment #8 about the use of Mapnik. Mapnik can be used either as a Python or a C++ library. Apart from the demo code included you need to write either a python or C++ program to do something useful. Mapnik is mainly used in the OpenStreetMap project, http://www.openstreetmap.org/.
The ultimate plan is to submit all of the components of the OSM toolchain to Fedora. The goals of OSM fit neatly with Fedora - free map data to allow the development of novel GIS applications.
I'll work through the issues you raise over the next couple of days and submit an updated SPEC and SRPM.
