<div>Allright, I'll take a shot at it. Looks like there is a
Launchpad repository that is synching with PostGIS SVN every 6
hours or so---perhaps I can get a nightly build set up.</div>

<div>Ok, I now have a nightly build set up that is tracking the
PostGIS trunk. Binaries are being built for Oneric (11.11) and
Precise (12.04-dev) and can be installed thusly:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:sharpie/postgis-nightly<br>
</div>
<div> sudo apt-get update</div>
<div> sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1-postgis</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Caveats:</div>
<ul>
<li>No build of `postgis` or `libpostgis-java`, the only package
provided is `postgresql-9.1-postgis` which contains the
PostGIS plugins, extensions and command line tools.<br>
</li>
<li>Builds against GEOS 3.2.2, supplied by the standard Ubuntu
repositories, thus the topology extension is unavailable.<br>
</li>
<li>Builds against GDAL 1.7.0, supplied by the standard Ubuntu
repositories, thus some raster functionalities are
unavailable.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The raw materials that went into creating this build were the
PostGIS repository on Launchpad which synchs with the upstream
SVN trunk ~every 6 hours:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://code.launchpad.net/~registry/postgis/trunk">https://code.launchpad.net/~registry/postgis/trunk</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This repostory can be cloned using bazaar via `bzr branch
lp:postgis`. The other component is the official Ubuntu
PostGIS repository that contains the debian packaging materials:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/postgis/precise">https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/postgis/precise</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This repository can be cloned using `bzr branch
lp:ubuntu/postgis`. My strategy was to fork `lp:ubuntu/postgis`,
edit the contents of the debian subdirectory to make it
compatible with 2.0-dev and then publish the edited fork to
Launchpad under my `+junk` section. After this was done, I set
up a `bzr-builder` recipe that fuses `lp:postigs`, which tracks
the upstream PostGIS repo, with the debian subdirectory
contained in `lp:~sharpie/+junk/postgis`, which contains my
edited packaging info, to create a nightly build:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
# bzr-builder format 0.3 deb-version
{debupstream}~r{revno}~ppa{revno:packaging}<br>
<font color="#000000"> lp:postgis</font><br>
nest-part packaging lp:~sharpie/+junk/postgis debian debian
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Pretty slick. I will ponder upgrading GEOS and GDAL and
setting up a stable build for the most recent beta releases.</div>
