Package: marble Version: 4:15.12.1-1.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
As of a few months ago Marble contains experimental support for vector tiles. This is functional but rudimentary, but I think to help the general FOSS effort it would be good to deploy this to users already. It doesn't affect normal usage - you have to explicitly enable the "Vector OSM" map and then select it in your Map View for it to be used. See https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/OSMVectorCompile for details. To enable this in our Debian package, the patch is simply this: ~~~~ diff -Nru marble-15.12.1/debian/rules marble-15.12.1/debian/rules --- marble-15.12.1/debian/rules 2016-02-01 10:23:56.000000000 +0100 +++ marble-15.12.1/debian/rules 2016-03-10 16:19:39.000000000 +0100 @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ $(overridden_command) -- -DWITH_DESIGNER_PLUGIN=ON \ -DWITH_KF5=TRUE \ -DMARBLE_INSTALL_ANDROID_APPS=ON \ + -DEXPERIMENTAL_VECTOR_TILING=ON \ $(conf_args) override_dh_strip: ~~~~ and I have built the packages here: https://people.debian.org/~infinity0/apt/pool/contrib/m/marble/ if any Debian users want to quickly try it out. There is still lots of work to be done by upstream - e.g. the zoom-level cut-offs for hiding smaller objects (for performance reasons I guess) currently don't result in a very good user experience, see: https://people.debian.org/~infinity0/res/ for some screenshots of this in action. But, hopefully more user feedback will improve this product, and perhaps attract volunteer contributors that wouldn't otherwise have realised that this ability exists.
