[Ubuntu] ubuntugis-unstable should have recent gdal

[Alan Boudreault]

testing is not really maintained, I only use it for a few testing 
(rarely) so there not much there. stable PPA is only upgraded twice a 
year, or for security releases. It does not contain any oneiric packages 
because oneiric is new. and we do not push the packages since we don't 
know if they are *stable* since no user tested them at the moment of the 
upgrade. In april, the unstable-oneiric packages will be moved to stable.

gdal 1.9 has been pushed quickly in lucid mainly for the OSGeo Live DVD. 
It needs a few more work to be *ready*. It will eventually be pushed in 
all ubunbu supported distributions soon (~2 weeks?).

Thanks,
Alan
