[OSGeo-Discuss] update osgeo live 5.0 to osgeolive 7.0

[Andreas Hoffmann]

Hi Angelos,

thank you for your reply regarding the java applications. As we are mainly
using geoserver we are affected by this problem. Thus I've canceled the
whole plan of upgrading and did a new and clean re-install on scientific
linux 6 due to its longer (as ubuntu) support time. So we also only
deployed the modules and packages of OSGeo which we really want and need.

Best Regards,
Andreas
