[Qgis-developer] Re: Call for packaging: QGIS 1.7.0 'Wroclaw'

[Tim Sutton]

Hi All

Just a correction:

>
> http://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-1.7.0.tar.bz2
> http://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-1.7.0.tar.bz2.md5

Should have read:

Source tarballs can be obtained from here:
http://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-1.7.0.tar.gz
http://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-1.7.0.tar.gz.md5

Regards
