[Live-demo] Postgres Apps - MapFish Sahana RasdamanPGRoutingGPSDrive

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi Brian,

Isn't the LiveDVD still based on 11.04?
I thought it was decided that the Ubuntu version wouldn't be upgraded for
this LiveDVD. Otherwise I must have missed the news.

According to this list the official PostgreSQL version of "Natty" is 8.4:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/database/

For 11.10 (Oneiric) there are indeed two version available: 8.4 and 9.1.
And for that Ubuntu release I can publish pgRouting packages for 9.1 to
Launchpad.

Daniel
