[postgis-users] I posted some mapserver and postgis debs

[Fred McDavid]

Stephen,

I'm very willing to help, but frankly I don't have the time I think it takes 
to be a debian developer.  Maybe at some point in the future.  I would love 
to have these packages as part of the debian proper and I am willing to 
commit some time to making this happen, but it should definitely not hinge on 
my efforts alone at this time.

The dist is whatever distribution is considered testing as of 
rigghhhhtttt....now.  Used to know, can't remember.  Sarge, I think.

If you're a debian developer, the best bet would be to figure out how to 
resolve the issues with php4's regexp.  It'd be nice to get that done right.
