list of packages needing to be updated

opencpn
opencpn-ais-radar-plugin
opencpn-celestial-navigation-plugin
opencpn-climatology-plugin
opencpn-iacfleet-plugin
opencpn-logbookkonni-plugin
opencpn-objsearch-plugin
opencpn-polar-plugin
opencpn-squiddio-plugin
opencpn-statusbar-plugin
opencpn-watchdog-plugin
opencpn-weather-routing-plugin
opencpn-weatherfax-plugin


NB 
the update of the opencpn main rpm will obsolete an existing rpm from Mageia8 : opencpn-chartdldr-plugin
no more needed since it is now included in the main rpm

An old warhorse. Thank you for all your explanations.

Assigning to Barry; this software looks in a tidier & more complete state than it was for previous update requests, and more worth accommodating.

update advisory

The updated packages have been submitted into Core Updates Testing repository
We ask for a QA testing

mga8, x64

There is not much that can be done to test this.  Installed the packages using qarepo and fired it up from the command line - `opencpn`.
This is an application designed for course plotting and tracking a on the high seas, with GPS support.  The interface displays a general map of the world centred on zero latitude and longitude by default and responds to the various buttons one of which leads to the opencpn website.

A neat package - no reason not to give it the go-ahead.

Oops - then I saw the update advisory in an attachment.
Enabled AIS radar and Celestial Navigation - the icons duly appeared in the side panel.  A radar screen pops up for AIS radar and Celestial Navigation provides a data entry panel.  That is as far as we can take it here with no access to charts, GPS etc.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA8-64-OK

OpenCPN can be found under Applications -> Education -> Geography

You may add free charts if you want..
the chartdownloader built-in plugin allows this (free charts from the NOAA for instance... 
choose a catalogue : USA-NOAA /RNS/by state California
 and then select the charts containing the word SanFrancisco:
if you want to explore the San Francisco bay it's possible : these charts will be displaied upon the world map and you will be able to zoom in ;) )

Enjoy

And when you display the charts, clicking on the WMM icon (World Magnetic Model) will display the correction to apply to the compass on the cursor position

Thanks for the pointers.  Downloaded several charts and loaded the San Francisco Bay Area chart.  Extremely detailed - most interesting.  Tried the compass correction thing.  Looks like it is all working.

a shorter update advisory

Hi

Here is a shorter update advisory as asked by Dave Hodgins by mail
Thanks for his advice

That is what is needed to navigate !
Unfortunately we will never use a kind of openseamap : the depth needs absolutely to be indicated on the charts by isobath curves, and that need campaigns of measures that can only be done by hydrographic administrations with powerful side scan sonars aboard special boats (not for pleasure sailors...)

USA publish those charts to be freely downloaded...
Lots of other countries don't : you must download encrypted charts and pay for their decryption key or dongle... (limited to one computer !) needing closed source plugins (nonfree rpms provided in Cauldron, and as backports for Mageia8)

>Tried the compass correction thing.  Looks like it is all working.
If it's OK you must read 13°16'E if your cursor is upon the Golden Gate Bridge... today
(it will be different in august 2022...)
That means that if you want to go to the West, you need to reach 270°-13°16' = 256°44' on your compass instead of 270°!

If you move the cursor to the middle of the English Channel the correction must be close to 0°...

Validating. Two versions of an advisory available as attachments.
