Based on how long it took the last release to make it into a Debian
package, which is what we copied to Ubuntu I don't think it will be
ready in time. Also note that pgrouting which relies on postgis may not
even be tested against 1.5 (though I still haven't finishing fixing the
bugs to get it installed right with 1.4, but that might be a libboost
issue).

I don't see any reason to rush it and suggest we stick with 1.4 for this
 LiveDVD release.
