GPX Viewer
GPX Viewer is a simple tool but essential if you are OpenStreetMap contributer or if you use gps logs in gpx format, also this tool would be a great fit for Fedora Geo Spin.
You can find this tool on it’s Freshmeat homepage.
In Fedora this tool is not currently packaged so you need to compile it, which is pretty simple.
UPDATE:
Gpx-viewer is currently packaged for Fedora and ready for testing from fedora-testing repository:
yum install gpx-viewer --enablerepo=updates-testing
First download and install dependencies for compiling GPX Viewer:
Now download, extract, configure and compile it.
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30271785/gpxviewer-0.1.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf gpxviewer-0.1.0.tar.gz
cd gpxviewer-0.1.0
./configure
make
Now that it is compiled you only need to become root and install it:
make install
exit

Any plans to package it?

Nope, I’m not a packager and have no time for that currently ;(
I hope somebody picks it up… I can make my rpm package but don’t have the time to go through the official procedure and become a packager right now.

It looks like fab is already working on packaging it. Seems the review process is taking a little while due to some complications with upstream and dependencies.

I had no problems compiling it with dependencies from Fedora 11 repos, I’ll check out what are the issues…

valent, those dependencies were resolved and the packages only recently were pushed to the stable repos. It seems a upstream name change is the current hold up. I suspect it won’t be long before things are wrapped up.
