Global Village Description

Can place a front-end, or graphical user interface onto the CLI interface of Xplanet. Global Village project is a gnome application designed to place a front-end, or graphical user interface onto the CLI interface of Xplanet, by Hari Nair.Originally intended to create and update the desktop wallpaper in a gnome environment, showing a traditional rectangular projection of the planet Earth, the scope of the project has been expanded. Global Village now provides as many of the features of Xplanet as seem reasonable, and with the ability for plugins the scope is nearly limitless. But do take it with a grain of salt... Here are some key features of "Global Village": · Select a planet. · Select a projection. · Body's North Type. · Rotate the body's North Pole · The Zoom level · The Suns glare Latitude and Longitude, which can be set as: · North Pole · South Pole · Equator · Random Latitude and Longitude · Or any number of user configerable locations. Requirements: · gtk+ · Xplanet and some python modules listed in the package What's New in This Release: · Fixed a couple of show stopper bugs, the config files were getting updated with the wrong path to marker files, and in some cases confusion over xplanet locations after an install from source. The default xplanet source installs into /usr/local/share/xplanet while Ubuntu and others install into /usr/share/xplanet which confuses the installer for Global Village. The fix is to uninstall the /usr/local/share/xplanet, then re-install with ./configure --prefix=/usr/ and then install 0.0.9-3 Global Village. Before runing Global Village enter 'gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/globalvillage' whichi will give you a clean slate to start from.
