[postgis-users] installing postgis on debian testing (sarge)

[Fred McDavid]

I've posted deb packages for postgis, mapserver at 
http://www.bitdaddy.com/gisdebs/index.html

I cc'ed the postgis list in a prior email, but I haven't seen the message, so 
I'm guessing cc's are prohibited.  Please excuse if this is a duplicate.

Regards,

--Fred
