[Qgis-developer] Run stable and master versions of QGIS on Ubuntu

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi Josef,

yes, I do want to have "stable" qgis with fdgb (+mrsid) support AND master  
for testing/new features, and yes, I already found your blog and also  
managed to build gdal on a virtual machine. But as with all those blogs,  
there is the "glue" missing.
For example I never found a text describing building gdal AND using the  
rest from the repositories. Normally, they only cover building everything  
and only latest versions and master and other cutting edge stuff, but  
simple how-tos how to set-up an easy to maintain system comparable what  
you get on windows out of the box with osgeo4w seem not to exist.
Fortunately, Alex and Eric already gave some very important hints.

This was completely new for me and I would never ever have managed to find  
out on myself just through googling cause for that you need to know the  
terms to search for.

Ok, at the moment I have no time for the experimenting, but at least I  
know how to "pin" this thread in my mail-client for later use ;)

Cheers
Bernd
