<p>Spatialite - like many projects - is moving along faster than the
package maintainers can repackage. The components of the
spatialite stack available for Ubuntu from the repos are nearly a
year old, and some are not available yet at all (the new "readosm"
tool and the library to connect to xls files).</p>
<p>Previously, in 5.5 we had one package, spatialite-bin, and a few
other pieces compiled in. Even then we were installing older
versions.<br>
</p>
<p>I've put together a new install_spatialite.sh script [1] which
downloads and compiles the whole spatialite suite. It seems to be
working well on a VM of the alpha1 build that Angelos has
prepared. Before I suggest to push it into the build scripts, can
others have a look, and try it out so the bugs surface?</p>
<p>One caveat: to build all the components of the suite requires
several dev packages that are not part of the default xubuntu
distro. I install them all as part of the script, and this totals
to around 20 MB of disk space. And worse, some of the spatialite
components need a c++ compiler, also not part of xubuntu by
default. When I install g++ we take a hit of another ~25MB of disk
space. I guess I should add a apt-get purge for all these
additional development packages after the builds are done to
recover disk space?<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Micha<br>
