[GRASS-user] up-to-date packages in UbuntuGIS

[patrick s.]

Short sidenotes from a basic Ubuntu-User:

1.) It is a great step to have repositories for GRASS and straight 
forward to stream these with Ubuntu-GIS.
     Thanks Martin! I am sure this will be of benefit for many 
GRASS-beginners!

2.) I upgraded Ubuntu from 15.04 (vivid) to 15.10 (wily) recently. And 
after Upgrade found out that ubuntugis-unstable
     did not support wily, yet. At least "wily" did not appear on the 
supported versions on this side:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntugis-unstable.
     This was pretty frustrating and luckily some days later, wily was 
included. Otherwise I might have fallen
     back to standard packages of Ubuntu for GRASS or a messy system of 
unsupported packages.
     This as comment in terms of ideal speed and frequencies of releases.

Patrick
