<br>
Around this time in the build cycle I often get asked "what version of<br>
software should we take into the build process?" and I always answer<br>
the same thing - take the default package from the Ubuntu repositories<br>
which you're using for the build. It's just the easiest way for everyone.<br>
<br>
For OSGeo-Live 9.0, I'm not sure but I think I heard that you will<br>
continue to use Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty as the base because it's an LTS<br>
version. Is that true? And if so, do you have any plans to take<br>
certain packages from later versions of Ubuntu, like 15.04, or is that<br>
too risky in terms of breaking stuff?<br>
I think that OSGeo-Live should be a kind of showcase for what's<br>
currently available, and if everything comes from 14.04 repositories,<br>
then there'll be no difference between OSGeo-Live 8.5 and 9.0, right?<br>
Do you have any plans for how to update the geo applications without<br>
having to update the whole Ubuntu underneath?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
