[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.4.0 packages for Debian Stable (Lenny)

[Niccolo Rigacci]

The package is available for i386 and amd64, from this 
apt-gettable repository:

http://debian.gfoss.it/

The backport includes GDAL 1.6.3 and other required packages.
Unfortunately Grass remains at version 6.4.0rc4, compiled
against libgdal1-1.5.0.

After upgrading the system, you can manually purge some old 
libraries. This is a quick howto:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install libgdal1-1.6.0-grass
dpkg --purge libqgis1.3.0
dpkg --purge libgdal1-1.5.0-grass

Probably this will be the last porting of Qgis for Debian Lenny 
from Gfoss.it, many things are changed upstream and Debian 
Squeeze is approaching.

Thanks a lot to all the Debian-GIS team (I know Frankie, but may 
be others), which does the hard work of Debian packaging.
