[postgis-users] installing postgis in Ubuntu 5.10(Breezy)

[John Taber]

Unfortunately, Jeff Waugh had to cancel from the LUG meeting here this 
week so I did not have the chance to ask him about this, but I did email 
Mark Shuttleworth re potential of getting postGIS into Universe. 
Meanwhile does anyone have a Breezy compatible PostGIS pkg ?
