NASA World WindReply with quote    
  http://ww2d.berlios.de/ (It is cross-platform, free and open-source version 
of NASA World Wind software, see http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov for details. 
WW2D allows you to explore Earth using satellite imagery, topographic maps and 
image from other data sources also providing large placenames and boundaries 
database and allowing you to install community-made add-ons for even more 
information about our planet.)

This program looks really cool: 
http://ww2d.berlios.de/ 
 
Basically it is a application like Google Earth using the NASA World Wind 
data. Maybe there is someone who is interested in this program too, and 
would consider creating a gentoo ebuild? 
 
I and certainly many others would appreciate that (unfortunately I do not 
have the skills to create an ebuild). 
 
Thanks for reading,

It's still experimental - even the choice of implementation language hasn't been
stabilized, see the bottom of
http://ww2d.berlios.de/forum.php?action=vthread&forum=4&topic=20014 and
http://ww2d.berlios.de/forum.php?action=vthread&forum=4&topic=20016

[Comment 2 Ronald Hummelink 2005-10-14 13:47:38 UTC]

Looks like the language of the implementation is chosen by now; Java.

This turns the request into 2 ebuilds I think, it requires the jogl library to
be put somewhere in a java vm subdir... Unfortunately i know nothing about all
the java stuff so i hope someone can pick up and start on ebuilds...

ww2d needs dev-java/jogl, bug 50178 and bug 71804. This is blocked by upstream
https://jogl.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=121 - make some noise there if
you want this to be added.

[Comment 5 Ian Wilder 2006-02-18 23:59:01 UTC]

i read the sun "bug", and the ebuilds regarding jogl....

this is kind of silly, imo. there's no reason there can't be an ebuild in portage that asks for the file to be downlaoded and put into the distfiles like other packages. then we can move on and make an ebuild for this.

[Comment 6 Raphael 2006-03-04 01:15:22 UTC]

I'd like to second that. We should really try to find a way forward with this rather than just waiting for someone else to "fix" it.  I am sure that with some imagination we can make a working ebuild.

Ask jogl upstream to do properly versioned tarballs. Until then, bad luck I'm afraid.

[Comment 8 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-03-04 02:30:56 UTC]

Marking this CANTFIX meanwhile, it has a dependency that cannot get into portage as it is, also there's no ebuild here.

Reopening this one as jogl upstream has addressed the issue.

[Comment 15 Petteri Räty (RETIRED) 2007-03-06 12:27:01 UTC]

They don't have source releases on their web page and can't reach their cvs atm so there isn't a way to make an ebuild currently until the CVS server comes back up.

[Comment 16 Henrique Rodrigues 2007-03-06 14:25:21 UTC]

They have a source version in SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69528

That one is a different code base as it seems to be written in C#. But they do have a recent release so we first need to check if the Java version is even alive any more.

Seems they just made a new release.

[Comment 20 jannis 2011-05-06 07:37:03 UTC]

Seems this project has died. Last known URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ww2d/, Last update was on 2009-07-18.

Can this bug be rejected?

[Comment 21 Patrice Clement (RETIRED) 2016-01-21 09:56:42 UTC]

This project is too old to be packaged. According to [1], the last release is from 2006. Closing this bug.
