The storage has been increased, so I've fixed the build failures in
ubuntugis-testing with a bunch of no-change rebuilds of packages
affected by the geos, gdal & grass transitions, and retried the failed
builds.

Now all packages built successfully and the transition trackers for
trusty are happy too.

We should be ready to copy the packages to the stable PPA now, in
batches per dependency level as documented on the BuildOrder wiki to
prevent the build failures like those in ubuntugis-testing.

Who wants to do it, and when?

Kind Regards,
