* Package name : postgis-java Version : 2.1.7.1 Upstream Author : PostGIS Developers <postgis-de...@lists.osgeo.org> * URL : https://github.com/postgis/postgis-java * License : LGPL-2.1+ Programming Lang: Java Description : Geographic objects support for PostgreSQL -- JDBC support PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL". This package contains JDBC support for PostGIS. libpostgis-java is required for osmosis, and used to be built from the postgis source package, but upstream has split it off into a separate project since PostGIS 2.2. The new postgis-java source package will be maintained in the Debian GIS team along with postgis itself.
