[Live-demo] Review of gpsprune on OSGeo-Live 11.0

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks Activity Workshop for all your help.

I agree with Sebastiaan that we should be updating to the latest stable 
version of gpsprune if we can.

One of the criteria we used to identifying projects to retire from 
OSGeo-Live was finding projects which are not changing version on 
OSGeo-Live. (This picked out gpsprune).

So hopefully between you and Sebastian you should be able to work out 
how to update to the latest version? (And then tweak the quickstart and 
project overview accordingly).

Warm regards, and thanks for your help,

Cameron
