[postgis-users] PostGIS setup - Ubuntu Breezy + PostgreSQL-8.1

[alex bodnaru]

talking about a gis specific repository, it may keep binaries for
various ubuntu versions, built at any intervals may be chosen.

but you will allways build those binaries off the same sources, as the
exact binary dependencies are been allways calculated at build time.

hope to have helped,
