I didn't hear anything in that direction. But ubuntu isn't as far behind as it
used to be - thanks to Bas' massive debiangis work that also ubuntu benefits
from. So there's less stuff that needs to put into ubuntugis to update what is
behind in the stock distribution.

<p>Here's part of a thread from a year ago.</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2017-September/038422.html">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2017-September/038422.html</a></p>
<p>The point of that post seems to be that ubuntugis has only LTR
and only for older ubuntu releases. The ubuntu base repo for newer
releases should cover newer versions of qgis etc:</p>
<pre>"The only versions of Qgis that require Ubuntugis are those built for
Xenial and earlier versions of Ubuntu. It is not required for later
versions of Ubuntu as the required packages are included in those
distros standard repositories."</pre>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The following post by Andre Joost restates:</p>
<p><tt>"Ubuntugis only supports Ubuntu LTS versions: .... Newer
versions </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>of Ubuntu have newer versions of GIS packages."</tt></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I understand the importance of the OSGeoLive PPA to keep that
live system "in good health". But Angelos intends to push
DebianGIS packaging to ubuntugis. </p>
<p>So what would be the "best practice" for keeping an ubuntu system
updated as far as the GIS stack? QGIS.org + ubuntgis stable? or
QGIS.org + ubuntugis unstable? or something else?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks<br>
