Dropping Globe plugin from the QGIS sources. It depends on osgearth no
newer than version 2.8, released on 2016-09-05, and which is impossible
to build against modern (Qt 5.13+) versions of Qt. With this, the
optional QGIS dependency on OpenSceneGraph and osgearth is also removed.
We had a confusing and unpredictable mix of script names with
- vs _, e.g. scripts/prepare-commit.sh vs scripts/sipify_all.sh
This unifies with the preferred _ convention for script file names
This new qgis_transform tool allows users to run processing algorithms
(both built-in, and those provided by plugins) directly from the console.
Running:
- "qgis_transform list" will output a complete list of all available
algorithms, grouped by provider.
- "qgis_transform plugins" lists available and activated plugins which
advertise the hasProcessingProvider metadata option (only these plugins
are loaded by the tool)
- "qgis_transform help algid" outputs the help and input descriptions
for the specified algorithm, e.g. "qgis_transform help native:centroids"
"qgis_transform run": runs an algorithm. Parameters are specified by a
"--param=value" syntax. E.g.
qgis_transform run native:centroids --INPUT="my_shapefile.shp" --OUTPUT="centroids.kml"
or
qgis_transform run native:buffer --INPUT=/home/me/my.shp --DISTANCE=20 --OUTPUT=/home/me/buffered.shp
While running an algorithm a text-based feedback bar is shown, and the
operation can be cancelled via CTRL+C

[infrastructure] [macos] use QGIS-Mac-Packager dependencies to setup MacOS CI build with GitHub workflows. Use CMake's define QGIS_MAC_DEPS_DIR to define folder to dependencies
Ideally this would be at least 5.9 (the minimum Qt version supported),
but unfortunately the Qwt libraries utilise QString::null in public
headers which was deprecated in Qt 5.9.
I've got a feeling Qwt is going to be a pain point once again when
Qt6 rolls around...
For many people it's unclear where to put headers in CMakeFiles.txt
If they should be duplicated in both moc and non moc header sections.
And if private headers should be included as well.
The good news is that CMake is able to figure out itself which headers
need moc'ing by some sourcery called automoc. Let's use it.
Since the fixes for these are either outside our control (residing
in Qt system headers), or break compatiblity with older compiler
versions which we still support.
