== Upcoming Work Priorities ==
+
* a Cygwin Setup derived network installer has been selected for use, though it will be modified for a simplified expressed install: ([http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe working prototype])  The installer lives at http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/osgeo4w/setup and is mostly maintained by Frank and Assefa.
 +
* A preliminary pass has been made on a variety of [[OSGeo4W Packages]]. Some will need revision and many more will need to be added based on [[OSGeo4W Packaging]].
  
* look into packaging (download packages directly from server...)
+
== Plans ==
* mailing list setup (done)
 
* put initial structure into OSGeo SVN
 
* look into sponsors from organizations
 
 
 
== Timelime ==
 
 
 
* base structure intact by April 2008
 
 
 
== Long-Term Plan ==
 
  
 +
* Hoping to have a reasonable stable "OSGeo4W 2008" ready for wide use by May 2008.
 
* select a Project Steering Committee
 
* select a Project Steering Committee
* enter incubation as an OSGeo project
+
* longer term: enter incubation as an OSGeo project
 
 
== Licensing ==
 
 
 
* are there any licensing issues with the proposed packages?
 
 
 
== Technical Notes ==
 
 
 
* existing MS4W NSIS installer [http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=ms4w-2.2.6.nsi.txt script]
 
* existing PostGIS NSIS installer [http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/source/pg82/postgis-pg82-1.3.1-installersrc.zip script]
 
* Paul Ramsey notes that for installation in corporate environments it can be very helpful to provide MSI files, and to support non-interactive distribution.
 
* Markus Neteler mentioned that 6.3.0 winGRASS is now in RC1 ([http://geog-pc40.ulb.ac.be/grass/wingrass/ download]) and also included in QGIS 0.9.0
 
 
 
=== Installer Creation Software ===
 
 
 
* several projects use [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] (Quantum GIS, PostGIS, FWTools, MS4W, ...)
 
* would make sense to use what we know (NSIS) and share
 
 
 
=== Build Environment ===
 
 
 
* MSVC 7.1 currently used (by MapServer buildkit, FWTools)
 
* possibly time to upgrade buildkit to 2005 (since a free version available, "Express")
 
* what about MSYS support?
 
* have a Windows VM on telascience ??
 
* also should segment from massive buildkit
 
* include build library files (header files, similar to how FWTools does currently)
 
** offer as developer components??
 
 
 
=== Upgrades ===
 
 
 
* will force a new download of the installer
 
 
 
=== Custom Scripting in Installer ===
 
 
 
* PHP can be used for custom scripting
 
 
 
=== Versions ===
 
 
 
* must pick our supported version of PHP, Python, etc. to use throughout installer buildkit
 
  
=== Package Requirements Details ===
+
== Build Environment ==
  
==== MS4W ====
+
Each package is built individually on the packager's machine, and then uploaded.  There is no need for complete consistency in development environments.  So packages might be built with MSVC 6, 7.1, 8, 9, MSYS/MingW and possibly even other compilers.  Mixing compilers may be problematic for C++ interfaces, but is generally fine for C interfaces.
  
* Apache
+
Packages used as libraries by other packages should have include files, and stub libraries in the package so the OSGeo4W tree can be used as a "buildkit" for additional packages.  
** install into any directory
 
** allow user to specify port to use
 
* MapServer
 
** SDE, Oracle plugins
 
** Mapscript: PHP, Java, Python, C#
 
** AGG
 
* All existing MS4W packages and utilities:
 
** Utilities:
 
*** avce00
 
*** dem tools
 
*** shapelib
 
*** shp2tile
 
*** shpdiff
 
** Packages (user can optionally include these):
 
*** ArcIMS Emulator
 
*** Chameleon
 
*** dBox MapServer
 
*** FIST

**automatically upgrade/install packages directly from the maptools.org server
 
  
Note: Microsoft IIS web server requirement might be handled with a community wiki

Build Environment

Each package is built individually on the packager's machine, and then uploaded. There is no need for complete consistency in development environments. So packages might be built with MSVC 6, 7.1, 8, 9, MSYS/MingW and possibly even other compilers. Mixing compilers may be problematic for C++ interfaces, but is generally fine for C interfaces.

Packages used as libraries by other packages should have include files, and stub libraries in the package so the OSGeo4W tree can be used as a "buildkit" for additional packages.

Versions
