== User Notes ==

 * A commandline and desktop raster/vector GIS system.
 * http://grass.osgeo.org/
 * Details on WinGRASS at: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status
 * Current packaging should be considered a preliminary proof-of-concept.
 * Default install includes only the curses interfaces.  You can install the wxpython and/or tcltk package to get the other GUI interfaces.
 * Maintainer is JuergenFischer (seeking new package maintainer)

== Packager Notes ==

 * Compile guide used: http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html
 * Depends on the MSYS package for commandline operations, because GRASS uses unix shell scripts.
 * WinGRASS is built with MSYS/MinGW.  The libraries used to link to the VC++ built GDAL & friends is in the mingw-libs package.
 * There is also a grass-vc package, that contains the VC++ built GRASS libraries.  These are used in the Quantum GIS GRASS plugin.
