[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeoLive 6.0 beta9 status

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi,

After testing all aplications on beta9 these are the issues found so far:

* Geonetwork - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/990
* Mapfish - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/991
* Rasdaman not included due to https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/988
* Sahana - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/992
* Ushahidi - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/969 (this is now fixed 
in trunk but present in beta9 iso)

Regards,
Angelos
