[Live-demo] OSGeoLive 9.0 status: nightly

[Angelos Tzotsos]

On our last weekly meeting we took the decision to move our default 
architecture to amd64 (and to try to release a 32bit version for 9.0).
The nightly ppa has been populated with 64bit deb packages.
https://launchpad.net/~osgeolive/+archive/ubuntu/nightly/+packages

A new build server has been setup and our first 64 bit build is ready 
(still no projects, just the base system).

The build scripts were patched in order for 64 bit build to work:

Cheers,
Angelos
