WMS scripts doesn't pass proper options to fillpyramid

[Dimitar Misev]

The fill_wms.sh script should be updated to pass --tasplit, --tiledupdate, --align and possibly others to the fillpyramid binary. Otherwise WMS fill fails for large images.

[Piero Campalani]

You are right: according to the backported importgeo.pl, with RGB and Grey images these arguments are used:

  --tiledupdate 
  --align 512  //default
  -t           //transparency
  --tasplit    //split transaction into small units (saves main mem)

BUT:

• the transparency can be disabled calling the import script with --notrans arg;
• --tasplit is not mandatory and is enabled by calling the script itself with the same argument.;

Should I reflect this behavior in fill_pyramid.sh or should I, for instance, force splitting?

(a note from fillpyramid.cc) "BUGS: —align without —tiledupdate goes wild."

[Piero Campalani]

After internal discussion, it was concluded to enable --tasplit option for publication of big files.
