[Qgis-user] Working with geopackages in Qgis

[Stéphane Henriod]

Hi Luigi

this great news! I will update to the latest 2.99 then.

But still, I suggest that we keep this Gdoc open, in case we identify
potential needed features to make the Geopackage support even greater than
it is now!

Cheers
Stéphane
