</span>I've create initial Debian packaging for mapnik/clipper [0], and updated<br>
mapnik-vector-tile [1] to use that package.<br>
<br>
mapnik-vector-tile (0.10.0+dfsg-1) now builds successfully, but a test<br>
does fail.<br>
<br>
Updating the mapnik-vector-tile package to work with mapnik 3.0.x, and<br>
packaging the mapnik/clipper dependency is being discussed in the<br>
upstream issue tracker [2].<br>
<br>
One of the upstream developers remarked that packaging<br>
mapnik-vector-tile shouldn't be required, because developers are<br>
expected to bundle mapnik-vector-tile in their projects.<br>
<br>
As noted in the issue, mapnik-vector-tile is packaged because<br>
node-mapnik requires it. And node-mapnik is in turn required for<br>
node-tilelive-{bridge,mapnik,vector}.<br>
<br>
Maybe we should consider removing mapnik-vector-tile and its reverse<br>
dependencies from the archive.<br>
<br>
What are your thoughts about this as the maintainers of these packages?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My position is that it is good to have node-mapnik in debian, because it's not that easy to</div><div>install otherwise - and i'm quite motivated to update it, but i'll find time to do it before the</div><div>end of the year.</div><div><br></div><div>Jérémy</div><div></div></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
