This page is for listing all the packages that are currently available for OSGeo projects. There is also discussion loosely relating to the creation of a OSGeo Binary Distribution and a review of various current approaches.

Building A Binary Stack
The discussion about the Binary Stack inside OSGeo is still open.
there are few possibilities.
Full Multiplatform Binary stack
this is a dream for a good binary stack. A platform to compile all source codes that can be used for all OS.
a good example is Starkit. A Starkit is a wrapping mechanism for delivering an application in a self-contained, installation-free, and portable way.
pro
- self-contained, installation-free, and portable way
- ???
cons
- all libraries in one installer. Static compilation.
- the most expensive (time, money, know how) to maintain.
MS4W
The no fuss installer for setting up MapServer on Microsoft Windows platforms. The purpose of this package is to allow all levels of MapServer users to quickly install a working environment for MapServer development on Windows. It is also an environment for packaging and distributing MapServer applications
pro
- ???
- ???
cons
- only windows oriented
- ???
FGS
The FGS Linux Installer is a self-extracting file that will install MapServer with PHP/MapScript and all of their dependencies on your Linux system. It provides a stand-alone environment with all the required software (incl. Apache and PHP) to run PHP/MapScript webmapping applications. The bundled version of Apache can be configured to run on any port so it will not interfere with previous installations of Apache or other web servers on your system.
pro
- ???
- ???
cons
- only linux oriented
- ???
LiveCD
Based on Linux, LiveCDs are a complete operating system contained is a single CD. There's no need to install it on the local machine, only a boot from CD drive is needed to experience the configured LiveCD.
pro
- optimized configuration of all application inside a single environment.
- no risk of library collisions as when installing multiple sofwares on the same machine.
- less expensive to maintain: a good linux hacker with some experience of liveCD can maintain different versions without a big effort.
- useful for presentations, workshops, demos, and university classroom. No need to configure many computers.
cons
- based only on one OS (Linux).
- Need to download an entire ISO (700 MB ca.)
- ???
