LibreOffice Writer is configured as the default application for PDF documents, though Evince is a much better choice.

This might be related to the order of the LibreOffice and Evince packages in the package lists, maybe Evince should be installed after LibreOffice. If that does not help, running xdg-mime default evince.desktop application/pdf should fix it - but we need to run it in the context of the user.

Install OST Open SAR toolkit

https://github.com/openforis/opensarkit

Looking at the installer for OST, we need to determine if we can install all requirements with apt (taking stretch-backports into account) and R install.packages() and extend our package-lists and the R package hook.
Major block is the installation of Orfeo Toolbox with the mosaicking tool.

We should install StaMPS, which is available here:
https://github.com/dbekaert/StaMPS
It is published under GPL 3.0 so we can include it in SARbian.

We should install SNAP 7, this is available here.
http://step.esa.int/main/download/snap-download/

Add a script to setup the build environment, i.e. installing packages required for building the image and the installer.

Features of the script:

• install packages for live build:
  • live-build
    - build external packages:
  • ASF MapReady
  • Oracle JDK (at least i386)
  • PolSAR Pro
  • SNAP i386 version
    - [ ] download SNAP installer
    - [ ] place package files in sarbian-xfce/config/packages.chroot
    - [ ] place SNAP and OST installer in sarbian-xfce/config/includes.chroot/usr/local/bin

The script must be able handle situations in which any part of the result is already fulfilled.

The script will need some options to control how much of the build preparation should be rerun and what should be included/excluded.

• clean-all:
  • remove installers from includes.chroot
  • remove packages from packages.chroot
  • remove build, cache, pkg directories
  • rerun all package-* and download-* scripts

Currently, most download functionality is able to work with the local cache folder. This needs to be extended to pkg dir.

Also, the cleanup script should be more fine-grained.

• Each task script should be able to:

  • see, if software is built and in build tree: do nothing
  • option clean: clean build tree for this software, build software new, but do not redownload, use local cache (if possible)
  • option clean-cache: build software new and redownload (ignore/delete cache)

Debian Buster will have Julia at least in version 1.0.3 (https://packages.debian.org/buster/julia), so we can include it into SARbian, too.

Including Julia will open up another possibility for processing data, with the bonus of interoperability with the already included languages Python, R and Octave/Matlab.

We should install PolsarPro Biomass 6.0.
this is available here:
https://www.ietr.fr/polsarpro-bio/
We should update our polsarpro mirror in this step.

We need some test data to check if the installed SAR processing software works as intended:

• SNAP
• ASF MapReady
• StaMPS

Installation of GMT5SAR

http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/projects/gmt5sar/wiki

Notes:

dependencies (based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS):
    subversion (for checking out source code)
    csh
    autoconf
    libtiff5-dev
    libhdf5-dev
    gfortran
    g++
    libgmt-dev
    gmt
looks packagable with via the "configure/make/make install"-way

Using https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apb.html as a starting point, we should go through preseed options and check, what makes sense to be configured.

We should preseed at least the activated software repositories, i.e. main, contrib, non-free, stretch-updates, security-updates and stretch-backports should be enabled because we use software from these repos. If the user does not activate these repos, they might break their system in the long run.

The InSAR Computing Environment, looks as if it could be build into a .deb package.
The source is available at
https://github.com/isce-framework/isce2

We should check the mime types of the most important file types,
so that LibreOffice and RStudio doesn't try to open too much files.

Are there plans for a docker container? Could be very useful! Thanks for a great product in any case.

Installation of adore-doris

https://github.com/bosmanoglu/adore-doris

Note:

looks like there is something for Debian packaging available

SNAP 6 has been released recently.

When updating the SNAP download script, we need to revisit if packaging SNAP is an option now and make another attempt.

Install the orfeo toolbox.
It should be cleared if the otb package in the debian repository is good enough.
We need the mosaic module.
https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/download/

The command otbcli_Mosaic is needed.
