[Toni Schönbuchner]

Hi Simone,

thanks!

mh mh mh geonode instance has been installed from apt. Also there is already
2.5 branch at github. I haven´t done before but keeping the fork in sync seems to
bring a lot of work as well. I´ll evalute the work of your first suggestion and
decide after words.

thanks & cheers,

Toni
