allow tile vector shapefiles to be kept in a user-accessible directory #22

Closed bhbraswell closed 8 years ago

bhbraswell commented 9 years ago

Currently tile vectors must reside in /etc/gips/datasetname. Many users will find it more convenient to keep these data inside the dataset tree, or some other location that is easily accessible by the user.

@matthewhanson is this the same issue as #20?

matthewhanson commented 9 years ago

Yes, I had expanded #20 to include this requirement as well.

To me it looked like #20 is only referring to the DB connection. Though I see you wrote “or anywhere else”. OK.

The problem here is that if you install via pip (or even just by setup), but edit your settings file after setup, then the system doesn't know where your repositories are when it is installing the tiles vectors. Thus, I put them in /etc/gips. But really they probably belong in the repository like they did before.

This requires some cleaning up of setup, possibly an interactive config utility upon first install, and making sure the whole thing works nicely in a development environment as well as on the system.

I do think the normal way to use GIPS is to have it installed at the system level, rather than in dev mode, but that users will mostly be the people dealing with configuring and adjusting settings.

again, per new data-driver and settings architecture, this seems fixed.
