The development of a primary [[OSGeo Binary Distribution]] was proposed earlier.  There are several possible approaches to meeting this need.  This section discusses a few different approaches.

[[Category: Software Stack]]

This is a dream for a good binary stack. A platform to compile all source codes that can be used for all OS.

=== Starkits ===
 
−
A good example is [http://www.equi4.com/starkit/ Starkit]. A Starkit is a wrapping mechanism named after "STandAlone Runtime Kit" for delivering an application in a self-contained, installation-free, and portable way.

* all libraries in one installer. Static compilation.

==MS4W==
 
−
The [http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/ 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

The [http://www.maptools.org/fgs/ 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.

==Linux packages repositories==
 
−
Package repositories are normaly maintained by specialist who prepare packages for personal use and for the community.
 
−
GIS packages are normally not available in official distributions that's why there's the need for an external repository.
 
−
 
 
−
Currently the only external repository is '''Jachym Cepicky''''s one: http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu/ for the Ubuntu distribution. The DebianGIS project has decided to focus on packages in the main distribution, which is probably a better approach on the long-term.

* 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.
