  • osm2pgsql - osm2pgsql imports map data from OpenStreetMap to a PostgresSQL database
  • SpatiaLite Tools - A set of useful CLI tools for SpatiaLite

Wishlist and interesting apps

  • AtlasStyler - the Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) / Symbology Encoding (SE) tool for OGC-compatible styling of geodata.
  • BeeGIS - opensource tool for Digital Field Mapping. Seems that they didn't try to build it for Linux (although its based upon JGrass/uDig/Eclipse).
  • Deegree - Java package with OGC services, desktop application and tools for processing and management.
  • epigrass - Epigrass is a open-source simulation platform created to study epidemics and their spatial (geographic) dynamics (volter stopped working on it -- SQLObject is new enough in Rawhide, but must package Python-networkx])
  • EPSG - OGP Surveying and Positioning Committee Geodetic Parameter Dataset
  • FoxtrotGPS - A mapping and GPS application like tangoGPS (started with packaging FabianAffolter)
  • Generate and distribute GPS position fixes from attached GPS devices
  • Geopublisher - a software that allows you to create digital multimedia atlases. The atlases can be automatically published on a media (CD, DVD, USB-stick), as well as on the Internet.
  • GeoNetwork - GeoNetwork is a catalog application to manage spatially referenced resources
  • GeoServer - like MapServer but written in Java
  • GeoTools - The Open Source Java GIS Toolkit
  • Gosmore - Routing and viewer of OSM XML data such as the whole planet.osm or other osm files from Geofabrik or Cloudmade. (KDE-Marble can make use of it.) License problem with icons; kkofler informed upstream.
  • gmapcatcher - An offline map viewer
  • GPStk - Open source library and suite of applications (paused with packaging FabianAffolter; volter got involved)
  • HidroSIG - a GIS with special tools that will allow you to make estimations and analysis of hydrological, climatic and geomorphological variables.
  • JGrass - open source GIS based on the GIS framework of uDig (that is why the intro looks so similar to that of uDig). JGrass tries to exploit in its engine the power of GRASS.
  • libnav - LibNav is an algorithm library for navigation and positioning. (started with packaging FabianAffolter, I thinks that libnav depends on gpstk)
  • librasterlite - Handle huge Raster Data Sources within the DBMS; Currently reviewing libepsilon, which is a dependency. Stalled nevertheless: librasterlite 1.0 doesn't build with our version of libspatialite.
  • MapAnalyst - Accuracy analysis of old maps
  • MapGuide - web-based platform for developing and deployment web mapping applications and geospatial web services.
  • MB System - Processing and display of bathymetry and backscatter imagery data derived from multibeam, interferometry, and sidescan sonars
  • mod_geocache - Apache module for caching map tiles (volter is working on it)
  • Python Networkx -- Creation, manipulation, and study of the structure, dynamics, and functions of complex networks (QGIS will make use of it)
  • mumpot - A gtk mapping application
  • OpenEV - software library and application for viewing and analysing raster and vector geospatial data.
  • OpenGTS -- Open GPS Tracking system is a full featured web-based GPS tracking system for your fleet of vehicles.
  • OpenModeller - Fundamental niche modelling library; There is also a desktop application. The desktop application is tightly bound to QGIS. Therefore, I'll wait for the next QGIS release. (volter started packaging both)
  • Opticks - Opticks is an expandable remote sensing and imagery analysis software platform. (volter: Packaging is on halt. As long as Opticks needs it's own modified version of OSSIM, it can't ship. I'll check back in a few months.)
  • Orfeo Toolbox - Library of image processing algorithms; There is also an accompanying software called Monteverdi. A QGIS plugin also exists somewhere. (volter: Loads of bundled libraries; some detection scripts don't work right; could make use of liblas.)
  • osgEarth - Terrain rendering toolkit for OpenSceneGraph (volter started packaging)
  • OSGRS - Open Source GNSS Reference Server (OSGRS) is a HTTP server that provides data for Assisted-GNSS applications.
  • Pyspatialite - Python dbapi2 compliant driver for SQLite + Spatialite
  • PyWPS - (Python Web Processing Service) is an implementation of the Web processing Service standard from Open Geospatial Consortium.
  • Prune - Prune is an application for viewing, editing and converting coordinate data from GPS systems. Basically it's a tool to let you play with your GPS data after you get home from your trip.
  • python-gpsd - Python GPS Daemon
  • Rasdaman - Raster data manager - Allows to retrieve and maintain multi-dimensional arrays of unlimited size stored in standard relational databases through an SQL-style query language.
  • Routino - Find the route between two points using the dataset of topographical information collected by Openstreetmap or data in that format. (KDE-Marble can make use of it.)
  • SAGA - GIS with API for processing geodata (volter started packaging)
  • Spatialite GUI - (volter started packaging -- Will only work with F15 and up)
  • Thuban - Interactive Geographic Data Viewer. (Last commit is from late 2009. Should we really package it?)
  • Tilemill - Modern map design studio; Style maps with CSS-like syntax and export to tiles
  • uDig - Desktop application framework, built with Eclipse Rich Client (RCP) technology

Missing dependencies in EPEL

  • QGIS
    • grass
