GIS project is initiative to package GIS related technologies and make it the best distribution for Fedora and EPEL platforms.
The GIS project is an initiative to package GIS related software, to make Fedora and EPEL attractive platforms for you GIS needs. It also covers some software from adjacent fields, like remote sensing or geodesy.


Fedora GIS activists hang out in [irc://irc.freenode.org/fedora-gis #fedora-gis] channel.

Packaging has started for many packages from the wishlist below, but hasn't finished yet for one reason or another. If you want to help in packaging them or want something to base your private packages on for now, you can check out volter's git repo:
  git clone git://geofrogger.net/fedora-packaging
Note: It also contains other packages. Please read the README files. These files don't reflect the official spec files. It's just work in progress.

Geographic Information Systems

The GIS project is an initiative to package GIS related software, to make Fedora and EPEL attractive platforms for you GIS needs. It also covers some software from adjacent fields, like remote sensing or geodesy.

Fedora GIS activists hang out in #fedora-gis channel.

Packaging has started for many packages from the wishlist below, but hasn't finished yet for one reason or another. If you want to help in packaging them or want something to base your private packages on for now, you can check out volter's git repo:

  git clone git://geofrogger.net/fedora-packaging

Note: It also contains other packages. Please read the README files. These files don't reflect the official spec files. It's just work in progress.
