[mapserver-dev] MapServer 6.0.0-beta1 release - Please test!

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi all,

I am working on building beta1 in OpenSUSE Build Service for future 
update of official repository.
I am getting the following errors:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/rawlog?arch=x86_64&package=mapserver&project=home%3Atzotsos%3Abranches%3AApplication%3AGeo&repository=openSUSE_11.3

Any ideas?

Regards,
Angelos
