We just started a new pledge drive to package pgRouting for windows along side the PostGIS windows install. and we are asking for $100 USD from each sponsor. What will you get by sponsoring our work:
- We will at least for PostgreSQL 9.2+ (both 32-bit and 64-bit) installs that we will package pgRouting as an extension you can install with something like
CREATE EXTENSION pgRouting;
. If there is enough interest and not too difficult we'll try to do the same for PostgreSQL 9.1 Windows.
- This we hope to start doing with the PostGIS 2.1.0 experimental build releases and final release
- This means that when you install PostGIS from application stackbuilder, you'll also get pgRouting. For simplicity, we are going to try to have it as a single install so that PostGIS 2.1.0 for windows will mean PostGIS + pgRouting
As a side benefit, we are also hoping that this will drive better integration between PostGIS / pgRouting. For one have extension offering to pgRouting, and also test out the CMake PostGIS build process and benchmark level of effort to fully integrate the 2 projects.
If you want to see this happen, please provide a $100 USD sponsorship. If you'd like to give more than that, you can write to us off-list at lr at pcorp.us.
