[postgis-users] Re: Cancelled Jeff Waugh Talk - GIS in Ubuntu

[Blair Zajac]

My packages just build a single postgresql-postgis-8.1 package with no Java support.

I tried Alex's packages quickly and they work great, with Java support and they 
are split into many different packages, so you can pick exactly what pieces you 
need.

I'm going to be rebuilding my postgresql-* packages as the Debian packages with 
no modifications, except for the version number so that people can easily 
upgrade.  Then I'll build Alex's postgis1* packages for Ubuntu.  I plan on doing 
this in the near future.

Regards,
Blair
