check SEXTANTE Help screens

[darkblueb]

in both gvSIG and openJUMP, the SEXTANTE plugin's Help system shows algorithms in section II, but no introductory slides in section I.

Perhaps this is just the state of affairs, but it is unexpected. This ticket is a reminder to verfiy with someone that this is somehow ok.

I contacted Victor to have a look at it. Thanks for picking that up.

Hi,

I can confirm that in the 6.5beta2 iso that for both gvSIG and OpenJUMP the basic concepts part of the sextant help is empty, but that the algorithm side is ok. I tried making a symlink to 'help' from 'sextant_help' in the gvSIG es.unex.sextant' dir, but no change.

It's not a good look, but doesn't break anything either, so lowering priority.

ps- lots of stuff in that gvSIG dir tree which is chmod 777 which shouldn't be.

Hi,

I think that we should fix the permissions issue before hitting RC this Monday. The help screens can be moved to OSGeoLive 7.0

more generally I notice a bunch of files on the ISO which belong to random UIDs not present on the disc. It comes from a difference in behaviour when you run tar as root, doing that preserves the original UID on the original system it was created on.

Anyone know the magic find command line usage to search for files owned by UID >= 1000?

Since there is now a fix from Hamish about the last comment, I am moving this to 7.0

fixed in 12dev alpha1
