Hi Marcus,<div><br></div><div>I guess with those prerequisites I won't make any geocaching submission soon - while all the features are usable as long as you have obtained a GPX file with all the data, the conversion to an sqlite3 db is done on the CLI with (one call to) bash/python scripts.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Looking at gpxview [1], for example, I do not want to re-implement all that again - and as that program now also compiles cleanly without any Maemo dependancies on my desktop and also has maps support, there might no longer be a point to patching TangoGPS. GPXView just is more specific and may therefore well be the better tool for geocaching.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But thanks for the offer, I'll check my history for any other patches I got queued and come back to you,</div><div><br></div><div>Stefan</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://vcs.maemo.org/viewvc/trunk/?root=gpxview">https://vcs.maemo.org/viewvc/trunk/?root=gpxview</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
before it gets lost in all the other discussions: I'd still be happy to<br>
integrate this.<br>
<br>
Remarks:<br>
* it must be usable for people that have not signed for the 30$<br>
premium account<br>
* everything must work from the user interface, command line is not an<br>
option<br>
* no python dependency - you can use either libsoup or libcurl<br>
<br>
Send me your last working tarball and I'll have a look and make<br>
suggestions or give you a hand.<br>
