please update qgis and qgis-grass-plugin7 for GRASS 7.0.5

[saultdon]

Looks like the current version of qgis (2.16.3-1) and the qgis-grass-plugin7 (2.16.3-1) in the OSGeo4W 64-bit installer are compiled against GRASS 7.0.4 and could be re-compiled against GRASS 7.0.5 (current release).

Without it, users have to downgrade GRASS to 7.0.4 without knowing why the plugin breaks or that qgis browser can no longer add grass layers to the map canvas. when the OSGeo4W installer automatically upgrades them to GRASS 7.0.5.

Until the next qgis point release you can use the nightlies (qgis-ltr-dev, qgis-rel-dev).

[saultdon]

Hey jef, will the qgis-grass-plugin7 package work for qgis-rel-dev?

[saultdon]

I'm trying to install qgis-rel-dev and it keeps trying to pull in GRASS 6 as a dependency. Is that a bug I should file separately and request that it instead use GRASS 7 as a dep?

[jef]

Both grass plugins are included in the nightlies.

[saultdon]

But why does it use grass6 instead of grass7 as a dep? Or are you saying that it uses grass plugins 6 and 7?

Replying to saultdon:

But why does it use grass6 instead of grass7 as a dep? Or are you saying that it uses grass plugins 6 and 7?

yes, in the -dev packages qgis is not split into subpackages and contain everything (including both the grass 6 and 7 plugin).

But the dependency of the x86_64 packages to grass6 dated back from the time when grass 7 was only available in x86. Fixed now.

[jef]

Fixed with new releases.
