[Live-demo] Postgres Apps - MapFish Sahana Rasdaman PGRoutingGPSDrive

[Daniel Kastl]

pgRouting is probably not going to work with 9.1, because the pgRouting
packages on Launchpad are built for 8.4 for (X)ubuntu 11.04.
It would be quite some extra work to just build packages for 9.1 and 11.04,
which I would like to avoid, because these packages already exist for 11.10
(on my PC) and there were some patches necessary. And I don't want to
revert to a script again to download, compile and install ;-)

So I'm -1 to install some "non-official" PostgreSQL version on this LiveDVD
release. It will be just a matter of six months to have 9.1 anyway if we
will upgrade to 12.04. IMO, if 9.1 is so important we should have used
11.10 for this release.
