[postgis-users] Are there any Ubuntu PPAs that serve PostGIS 2.0 beta releases?

Allright, took a few jabs at this and here is what I have found so far:

  - Without GEOS 3.3.2, PostGIS must be configured `--without-topology` so 
this definitely knocks out a big chunk of 2.0 functionality.

  - 2.0.0beta2 can compile against the dependencies supplied for PostGIS 
1.5.x via `apt-get build-dep postgis` with the addition of GDAL 1.7.0 via 
`apt-get install libgdal1-dev`. However, 2.0.0beta3, released today, and 
the current SVN head fail during configure:


RASTER: Raster support requested
checking for GDAL >= 1.6.0... found
checking gdal.h usability... yes
checking gdal.h presence... yes
checking for gdal.h... yes
checking ogr_api.h usability... yes
checking ogr_api.h presence... yes
checking for ogr_api.h... yes
checking cpl_conv.h usability... yes
checking cpl_conv.h presence... yes
checking for cpl_conv.h... yes
checking for GDALAllRegister in -lgdal... no
configure: error: could not find gdal


This is odd, because running nm against the libraries shows that the symbol 
is there:

vagrant at vagrant-64:~/postgis-2.0.0beta3$ nm --dynamic 
/usr/lib/libgdal1.7.0.so | grep GDALAllRegister
000000000021a820 T GDALAllRegister


Don't know if this is a bug in the latest beta, or a problem with Ubuntu's 
GDAL 1.7.0 libraries. Any advice would be appreciated.
