[GRASS-user] Fwd: Re: ppa for grass 7 Ubuntu Quantal

[Tim Michelsen]

OK, I did it.

Stable (grass6.4.X) Packages are in the grass-stable PPA:
https://code.launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/grass-stable

This includes Ubuntu 12.10 & 13.04!

So let's try to run the recipe daily without errors:
https://code.launchpad.net/~grass/+recipe/grass64

If you want to see how I modified the UbuntuGIS instructions to get the
recipe up, please have a look at:
https://code.launchpad.net/~grass/grass/grass64_release_debian
or the log here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~grass/grass/grass64_release_debian/changes/

For Grass 7.0, recipe was just built for Ubuntu 12.10:
https://code.launchpad.net/~grass/+recipe/grass70

Respective packages are in the grass-devel PPA:
https://code.launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/grass-devel

The debian instructions can be found here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~grass/grass/grass70_release_debian
and the changes in respect to UbuntuGIS at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~grass/grass/grass70_release_debian/changes/

Here a plea -- repeating from my last mail:
* I need help in maintaining this stuff!
* I am not a every day work with GRASS, especially on Ubuntu, these days.

* So I will deactivate the automatic builds again if they fail for 3-5
consecutive times.
* A failure of 1-2 times is usually OK, especially for GRASS7, when the
software is in development. This means that were were some changes in
the GRASS source code.

* If there are build many consecutive failures, the upstream changes are
big and require update of the debian instructions
* this is exactly where help from others is needed!!!
* Further along the road, I could also image that we package GRASS
AddOns for Ubuntu...

Kind regards,
Timmie
