[postgis-users] Gentoo/Debian Packages using 1.1.0CVS?

[strk at refractions.net]

David, I understand the will to switch to 1.1.X, but users
are reporting packages to be versioned 1.0.X ! Also no 1.1.X
release is out yet, distributing packages for it would increase
confusion (what version would users be referring to when saying
1.1.0CVS ?).

I suggest you clearly state the package contains a CVS snapshot and
patch the Version.config file to include update time in version
(like 1.1.0CVS-20050915), using same naming convention for the package
itself.
