Debian package for webkitimageqt josm plugin

here is the debian package
http://osm.komzpa.net/~mdupont/osm/pool/main/w/webkitimageqt/

you add to your /etc/apt/source.list

deb http://osm.komzpa.net/~mdupont/osm/ gjergi-osm main
deb-src http://osm.komzpa.net/~mdupont/osm/ gjergi-osm main

apt-get install webkitimageqt
should work.

if you want the source

apt-src install webkitimageqt

here is the source repository :
http://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/webkitimageqt

[James Michael DuPont (jamesmikedupont)]

any reason why this is invalid?
The webkitinageqt is needed for the josm-plugin validator.
please advise on how to proceed.

Thank you for taking the time to request this package and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately you have not provided enough information for a developer to start packaging this application. Please make sure this bug meets the guidelines at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages. An example of a complete package request is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages/ExamplePackageRequest.

[James Michael DuPont (jamesmikedupont)]

Leo What is incomplete? the package is there, it works, I built it. what is the problem, be specific.
thanks,
mike

Why is this still needed?

First of all, Yahoo Imagery is more or less obsolete since we can trace from Bing aerial imagery, which has better coverage and resolution at most places. Second you can install gnome-web-photo_0.3-0ubuntu2 instead and it works the same way. (Yes, you need to downgrade to the version from Intrepid, newer versions do not work with josm, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/WMSPlugin.)

(Typo by OP: this is for wmsplugin/imagery (which is no longer a plugin) and not for validator (also not a plugin any more).)

[James Michael DuPont (jamesmikedupont)]

I dont use bing. This is needed for custom WMS layers.
If there is an alternative package, then update the osm docs.
Why do we need kde when we have gnome?
That is not the question why does it take one more than one year for a
package to be integrated?
Whatever you do, please make sure that people who follow the osm
instructions know what to do to use custom wms layers.
Also for the balkans, the yahoo images are better than bing, bing is useless
there.
thanks,
mike

Standard wms and tms work out of the box, this is only required for the "html:http://..." kind of imagery source (e.g. yahoo).

What's wrong with the docs at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/WMSPlugin ?

> Why do we need kde when we have gnome?

webkitimageqt and gnome-web-photo fulfil exactly the same task in this case: load a url, render the content and output it in image format. If there is any practical difference, you should point it out.

What do you mean by that? Where is the documentation lacking?

there.

Can you point me to a location?

ok, well at the time the qt was easier to use. if the gnome is packaged and
works then fine.

Well at the time the osm docs talked about compiling things yourself etc, I
have not looked in a long time.

I guess I am totally out of date. Thanks for the info.
If there is good alternatives, then fine. I dont care, it served its purpose
at the time.

You still need to compile for Mac OS.

I take it as a compliment, because it means we are moving forward... :)

[Leo Arias (elopio)]

bastik, the Ubuntu bug was marked as incomplete because in order to request a package you should follow the guidelines at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages

After reading it, and adding the missing information, you can change the status to new.

thanks again.
