object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the
PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial
database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's
SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple
Features Specification for SQL" and has been certified as compliant
with the "Types and Functions" profile. PostGIS/PostgreSQL includes
the following functionality:
* Simple Features as defined by the OpenGIS Consortium (OGC)
* Support for Well-Known Text and Well-Known Binary
representations of GIS objects
* Fast spatial indexing using GiST
* Geospatial analysis functions
* PostgreSQL JDBC extension objects corresponding to the
geometries
* Support for OGC access functions as defined by the Simple
Features Specification
Based on package in pkgsrc-wip by mchittur@cs.nmsu.edu. Updated to
not require building in PG source dir now that postgresql81-client
installs the "server" include fies.
* Fri Jun 9 2006 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.33-1
- Fix bad unit conversion in V output. Clean up some man-page messes.
Fixed buggy libgps parsing of multiple responses. It's now possible
to lock gpsd to a fixed speed at compile time for embedded use. Added
NTRIP support, thanks to Ville Nuorvala. O command now ships an
explicit mode field.
* Sun Mar 12 2006 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.32-1
- Cleanup of the xgps layout, and minor memory-leak fixes for xgps. Fix
to cope with Antares uBlox by Andreas Stricker. Minor fix to libgps
cgpxlogger. Merge cgpxlogger and gpxlogger documentation onto
the xgps(1) manual page and rename it gps(1).
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto

GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats that
is released under an X/MIT style Open Source license. As a library, it
presents a single abstract data model to the calling application for
all supported formats. The related OGR library (which lives within
the GDAL source tree) provides a similar capability for simple
features vector data. It includes roughly 60 format drivers. Current
translators include:
* GeoTIFF (read/write)
* Erdas Imagine (read/write)
* ESRI .BIL (read)
* .aux labelled raw (read/write)
* DTED (read)
* SDTS DEM (read)
* CEOS (read)
* JPEG (read/write)
* PNG (read/write)
* Geosoft GXF (read)
* Arc/Info Binary Grid (read)
