:united_kingdom: Revival of the Umap app

Umap is a tool to quickly build custom maps with OpenStreetMap’s background layers.

For example, you may use this tool to prepare your hiking or your visit of a town with your spots of interest.

The package for Yunohost has been dormant for some time.

But thanks to the efforts of Yohan Boniface and David Larlet (who are by the way also the developers of Umap) with my help and thanks to NLnet who partly funded this work, the package is now revived !

Enjoy!

:france: Renaissance de l’app Umap

Umap est un outil pour concevoir rapidement des cartes personnalisées avec des fonds OpenStreetMap et de les intégrer facilement à votre site.

Par exemple (mais pas seulement), vous pouvez exploiter cet outil pour préparer vos randonnées et pour recenser vos point d’intérêt à visiter.

Le paquet a été en sommeil pour quelque temps.

Mais grâce aux efforts de Yohan Boniface et David Larlet (qui sont aussi par ailleurs developpeurs de Umap) avec mon aide et grâce à NLnet qui a en partie financé ce travail, le paquet renaît de ses cendres :

Amusez-vous bien !

Thanks!
I tried installing but there was a fatal error because postgis is not available. Logs: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/uwowadugis

These lines are surprising:

But before going further with the investigation, could you update the catalog and try again? I see that you intent to install the version 3.5.0, but the current version is 3.7.3.

Thanks, I updated the catalog and now it’s trying to install 3.7.3 but apparently the error is similar https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/ezekahutup

Yeah, still seing these lines:

What happens when you try the following command?

sudo apt install python3-pip libpq-dev postgis

I installed those three packages but nothing changed, as seen here https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/lalewaqawi
However, installing postgresql-postgis solved the problem.
The app is now working at uMap - Online map creator

7

What I don’t get is why then the CI pass. But I believe you, and there is probably no harm in installing postgresql-postgis.

I have opened and merged this PR, with the fix:

The new version of umap will be offered in the app upgrades in a few hours.

Thanks for the report!
