Description

Name : JOSM (Java Open Street Map Editor)

Homepage : https://josm.openstreetmap.de/

Reason : JOSM is a very powerful editor for OpenStreetMap. It can be a little complicated to get working for non-technical users. It would be nice to allow easy install of the programme via the Software Centre, to make it more accessible to end users.

Open Source : Yes (GNU General Public License v2 or later)

Source Code : There are different methods, more details here -https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Source%20code#Getthesource

This needs a dedicated maintainer considering the complexity of getting it to work.

@DataDrake I am a regular user of JOSM and would love to maintain it, however, I currently don't have the knowledge to be able to package it. Any chance of someone helping me with it?

I could give it try. I don't promise anything, but it shouldn't be that difficult to package.

Gotta say thre git repository (converted from the official SVN repository) is HUGE. Nearly 700 MB. Is this an issue?

Patch provided was not acceptable. Closing again.

@JoshStrobl would it be acceptable to set a script that creates a tarball as the source, enable networking and then build JOSM from the extracted tarball? The downside of JOSM is basically having an SVN repository instead of git.

@JoshStrobl @DataDrake pinging you again. Would my previous solution be acceptable? Or, alternatively, we can create local tarballs like we do for Firefox langpacks.

It's going to have to be local tarballs that we toss up on the web server.

Built it locally using your packaging and it works a treat!! Is this method of grabbing the source acceptable?

livingsilver94 added a comment.Apr 22 2019, 4:01 PM

If I understood latest @DataDrake 's message, this is the correct way to fetch the tarball.
