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.

What is the problem is that is if libmapnik.so *is linked (dynamically)* from
other packages, then having no soversion is a problem because the ABI
of libmapnik.so may change in the future. At that point,
all the applications linking to libmapnik.so silently gets useless.

Ok.  I'll need to work with upstream to get the following fixed:

- Fix the line endings on the XML demo files
- Fix the soname/ABI stuff
- Fix the compilation flags

I could do most of this in the SPEC file but it makes more sense to do it
upstream, and they are generally quite responsive.

Upstream have agreed to make some changes and I'll need to do the rest in the
SPEC file.  Currently working with the package maintainers for other
distributions to coordinate the changes and get a new version released.

Fixed.

I am still waiting on upstream to fix the soversion and then to make a release.
 I have not published an updated version of my SPEC file as I have switched to
building from SVN prior to the upstream release.

It will be nice to have this, as the development version of GPSdrive
(http://www.gpsdrive.de/) will use mapnik if it can find it. (Which answers the
question in comment 15, above, about whether other programs can use mapnik.)

I installed scons immediately before starting to run this build. Is there

I am python illiterate, so this could be something I haven't done. If so, can
you automate it so that other python illiterates can use the package?

You have 88 .hpp files (c++ headers). Can those and other development goodies go

- No, this does not answer my question. I am not asking how
  this program is used, but how *libmapnik.so* is used.
  I am asking if
  * this library is linked from other applications
  * or this library is dlopened
  * or this library is never used from other applications

- If the software itself is a development tool, it may contain
  header files etc.. by default.

I agree - Mapnik does nothing on its own, so I would consider the whole thing to
be a development package.

Use the most recent SPEC (0.4.0-4) file from comment #7.  The way Scons works
changed from FC6 to F7.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. My thinking on a separate devel package
(comment 18) is that while a developer would need the headers, an end user --
someone not developing with mapnik, but using a program which calls the library
-- would not need or want them. Case in point: I have the X11 libraries loaded,
but no X11 header files.

Apologies, the URL for the SRPM should be:

http://www.passback.org.uk/maps/rpms/SRPMS/mapnik-0.4.0-4.fc7.src.rpm

I take your point about splitting into mapnik and mapnik-devel.  Comments from
other reviewers or potential sponsors would be welcome.

runtime libraries (and executables) should be separated from
development parts, ie parts that are needed only when building 
against mapnik library. scripts that are used only during
the build can go to the -devel subpackage.

It may also be relevant to split the python part, depending
on the case.

So is libmapnik.so "runtime library"? i.e. how libmapnik.so
is used from other application?

In case it's useful, you may wish to cross-reference with my Mapnik Debian
packages: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/mapnik . Upstream is still
a bit unsure about versioned sonames - for the time being I'm using a private
soname scheme as you can see from the package. Re Comment #14 - do get in touch
if you need any coordination (apologies if I missed an email before).

Upstream is on vacation for the next couple of weeks with no Internet access. 
I'll ping them when they return and try to get this moving.

If mapnik is going to use the system copy of dejavu instead of it's own then the
setting of fontscollectionpath in paths.py in the python binding should probably
be changed as well so that it points at /usr/share/fonts/dejavu or it won't
register any fonts by default.

The current mapnik code also contains a copy of the agg library and it looks
like the RPM is currently building that as a static library and linking it into
libmapnik.so rather than linking against the system libagg.so from the agg package.

The mapnik headers also need the agg headers, so any mapnik-devel package will
need to require the agg-devel package.

An updated SPEC file (builds from SVN) with the following fixes:

- Fix fontpath from Comment #30
- Use system libagg rather than private version, Comment #31
- Split into mapnik/mapnik-devel/mapnik-python as per Comments #18 and #25

I still need to work out what to do about the soname issue and get upstream to
do a release rather than rely on SVN.

On fedora8 (x86_64) I get an error while trying to build:

The build error on F8 is a known issue.  The problem is that the boost libraries
have changed name for F7 -> F8.  The fix is to split out the boost part of the
SConstruct patch and make it conditional on Fedora version.

I hope to do this in the next day or so.

Good news from upstream - they have fixed the sonames issue and are preparing a
release, so we should see progress soon.

I am travelling on business until the 28th and will not be able to do anything
with this package until the end of the month.

I have just filed a review request without realising Kieth had been working on
this - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436704

The above review is for mapnik 0.5 which builds happily in koji against dist-f8.
Needed a single patch for ppc64.

Kieth - happy to work together on getting this one into the repo's if you wish :)
