[QGIS-Developer] QGIS in UbuntuGIS (join forces)

[Martin Landa]

Hi QGIS devs,

some time ago I took care about maintaining GRASS packages in
UbuntuGIS project (unstable and experimental PPAs - currently I am
working on new QGIS 2.18 packages, see ubuntugis-experimental). It
also includes related gdal-grass and qgis packages [1]. QGIS packages
are maintained transparently in git repo [2] (ubuntu/trusty + xenial)
branches. It would be nice to join forces. QGIS now offers its own PPA
with ubuntugis dependency [3]. I see two options:

* promote UbuntuGIS Unstable (which contains fresh versions)
* copy packages from UbuntuGIS unstable to your PPA (or in opposite direction).

The most important would be to maintain packages in same git repo [2].

What do you think? Best, Martin
