[mapserver-users] why 5.0.3 on latest linux distro's

[Willy-Bas Loos]

wait,

osgeo4w has 5.0.2 (http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-mapserver) (like
debian and ubuntu)
but ms4w has 5.2.0 (http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml)
fedora 10 will have 5.2.0 (
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4354)

seems to me that the changelog shows enough reasons to use 5.2 instead of
5.0, although major and minor things get mixed up in all this text.
it would be nice to be able to see what the major improvements are, maybe
add a little overview of the major stuff at the top?
(
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/tags/rel-5-2-0/mapserver/HISTORY.TXT
)

Anyways, i still don't understand what is keeping people from using the
latest version.
Is there some dependency in the way?

cheers,

WBL


Why do debian lenny and ubuntu 8.10 only have mapserver 5.0.3 in their
> package lists?
> MS4W has 5.2.0, this is feeling all wrong!
