Please do not include external libs

[pcav]

to avoid duplication of code, etc.
Since geographiclib is of rather general use, it would be probably appropriate to include it in the installers instead.

[Asratum]

the library in question is already included in a plugin in the official repository, so I assumed it would be okay to include it in mine:
https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/qgis-shapetools-plugin
I agree, it would be great to integrate the library in qgis (if that's what you mean), but my technical expertise is not good enough to do that at the moment on my own

[pcav]

Thanks for pointing out. Ticket opened on the other plugin.
Please open a ticket on OSGeo4W to ask including it.
In principle it is not difficult, you might be able to do it, or otherwise find a way of supporting it.
Thanks.

[Asratum]

OK, will open a ticket on OSGeo4W

[Asratum]

I see that the OSGeo4W ticket was closed (https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/621). When I see that it is present in the next version of QGIS, I will remove the external lib.

[pcav]

It should be included in the upcoming point release, please make sure this is the case.

Once included, please remove the lib so it can be published.

External library removed with version 3.1.0, now using the QGIS one
