[Live-demo] Which version of gpsprune should be installed on OSGeo-Live 9.0?

[Cameron Shorter]

OSGeo-Live community,
Especially those who have experience with packaging,
I'm wondering whether you have advise for Activity Workshop re bringing 
gpsprune up to a more recent version on OSGeo-Live.

Johan, maybe you can shed some insight?
