2002-10-20 19:55:16 +05:30
The following package is needed for full translation of the interface
to your language:
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
2015-08-27 06:53:12 +05:30
* **language-pack-gnome-xx**
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
Translation of GTK elements to your language, with
xx your language code; e.g. for Dutch you need
language-pack-gnome-nl. The translation of the
2021-05-30 22:16:21 +05:30
Gramps strings is included with the Gramps source.
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
The following packages are **STRONGLY RECOMMENDED** to be installed:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* **osmgpsmap**
Used to show maps in the geography view.
It may be osmgpsmap, osm-gps-map, or python-osmgpsmap,
but the Python bindings for this must also be present, so gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0.
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
Without this the GeoView will not be active, see
2021-05-30 22:16:21 +05:30
https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
* **Graphviz**
Enable creation of graphs using Graphviz engine.
Without this, three reports cannot be run.
Obtain it from: http://www.graphviz.org or try graphviz and python3-pygraphviz from your packages.
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
* **PyICU**
Improves localised sorting in Gramps. In particular, this
applies to sorting in the various views and in the
Narrative Web output. It is particularly helpful for
non-Latin characters, for non-English locales and on MS
Windows and Mac OS X platforms. If it is not available,
sorting is done through built-in libraries. PyICU is
fairly widely available through the package managers of
distributions. See http://pyicu.osafoundation.org/
2021-05-30 22:16:21 +05:30
(These are Python bindings for the ICU package
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyICU/).
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
* **Ghostscript**
2021-05-30 22:16:21 +05:30
Used by Graphviz reports to help create PDF files.
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
The following packages are optional:
------------------------------------
2021-05-16 02:45:54 +05:30
* **gtkspell**
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
Enable spell checking in the notes. Gtkspell depends on
enchant. A version of gtkspell with gobject introspection
2021-05-30 22:16:21 +05:30
is needed, so minimally version 3.0.0.
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
* **rcs**
The GNU Revision Control System (RCS) can be used to manage
multiple revisions of your family trees. See info at
2021-05-30 22:16:21 +05:30
https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Archiving_a_Family_Tree
Only rcs is needed, NO python bindings are required.
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
* **PIL**
Python Image Library (PILLOW) is needed to crop
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
images and also to convert non-JPG images to
JPG so as to include them in LaTeX output.
(For Python3 a different source may be needed,
2021-05-30 22:16:21 +05:30
python-imaging or python-pillow or python3-pillow).
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
* **GExiv2**
Enables Gramps to manage Exif metadata embedded in your
media. Gramps needs version 0.5 or greater.
See https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion#GExiv2_for_Image_metadata
* **ttf-freefont**
2021-05-30 22:16:21 +05:30
Provides genealogical symbols and more fonts for reports
2015-08-22 14:55:15 +05:30
* **geocodeglib**
A library use to associate a geographical position (latitude, longitude)
to a place name. This is used if you already have osmgpsmap installed.
If installed, when you add or link a place from the map, you have a red line
at the end of the table for selection.
Debian, Ubuntu, ... : gir1.2-geocodeglib-1.0
Fedora, Redhat, ... : geocode-glib
openSUSE : geocode-glib
ArchLinux : geocode-glib
...
* **fontconfig**
Python bindings of fontconfig are required for displaying
genealogical symbols
2021-02-09 17:24:44 +05:30
* **magic**
Python magic bindings required to have better performances with image
processing.
If this module is not available, we continue to use Gdk.
This avoid to load the image in memory. This is a real improvement
when we have many big images.
Used in odfdoc, rtfdoc and webreport and tested with png, gif, jpeg, bmp, tiff
#
# file size with magic without (Gdk) ratio
# example 1 : 256k 0.00080 0.00575 7
# example 2 : 21M 0.00171 0.55860 326
Debian, Ubuntu, ... : python3-magic
Fedora, Redhat, ... : python3-magic
openSUSE : python-magic
ArchLinux : python-magic
