Any packages that are now in good shape in ubuntugis should find their way to debian unstable as soon as possible. That way, they will be included in ubuntu (universe) release 14.04. Having packages in ubuntugis is nice, having them in ubuntu and debian is even better (especially for libraries).</div>

As most of you know, I've been working on UbuntuGIS under the GSoC program, it's been going pretty well, but maybe not enough. I'm currently at week 11 out of 13 and there is still many things to be done.<br>
This email is to make a small report of what I've done and what needs to be done next.<br>
<br>
At week 11:<br>
---------------<br>
What is done:<br>
<br>
* All package in UbuntuGIS for Lucid, Precise, Quantal and Raring are updated to their latest version.<br>
* New LibLAS package with python binding (no LASzip)<br>
* New marble-qt package, install Marble without the KDE deps.<br>
* Fixed the bugs caused by the libgdal1h update.<br>
* Added the new libgeotiff package (1.4.0)<br>
* Updated the libgdal-ecw-src pacakge to compile with the new ECW 5.0 SDK (there's still an issue with this one)<br>
<br>
Issues:<br>
<br>
* The many issues caused by the libgdal1h seem to be fixed.<br>
* Same thing with the issues caused by the new package name in Postgis.<br>
* There is currently a problem with the new Libgdal-ecw-src package when trying to use Python-gdal and ECW support,I'm currently working on it, but if you have any idea what may cause the undefined symbol error, please post in this ticket <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/ticket/34" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/<u></u>ubuntugis/ticket/34</a><br>
<br>
Java Packaging:<br>
<br>
* Looked into packaging Geotools, but it doesn't seem possible to do it in the time frame I have.<br>
* Tried to package the latest version of Osmosis to learn a bit more about Java Packages but I ran into problem while trying to compile it and its new build method doesn't seem to be supported for package, so I moved on.<br>
<br>
Suggestions (Improvement for UbuntuGIS):<br>
<br>
* Make a new SAGA package.<br>
* Create a new plugin similar to the ECW, but for Oracle support for Mapserver and GDAL, will start working on it soon.<br>
<br>
Other:<br>
<br>
* Create a new repository in Debian for people who don't want to use Unstable but still need the latest GIS softwares.<br>
* Complete new documentation for UbuntuGIS.<br>
