[postgis-devel] trunk == 2.0.1

[Chris Hodgson]

I think that releasing the postgis 2.0.0 package as "postgis2" is a 
better approach, as you really don't want people to be able to 
automatically replace their postgis 1.5 with postgis 2.0.0.

Creating postgis1 packages will just force everyone to go through this 
nasty process... that said, for anyone who has already "upgraded" to 
2.0.0 using your packages, they will need the postgis1 package to go 
back and fix things.

What a mess!
