Dear Developpers<br>
<br>
Following packages.debian.org it seems that no QGIS packages are
actually available in the Debian testing (Wheezy) <br>
<br>
the version of Qgis in the Debian unstable version (Sid) seems to be
still only 1.40 <br>
(and i remember that as there was some problems with 1.40 in Debian, <br>
and that it was necessary to use the gfoss.it repository to get the
1.5.0 without these problems)<br>
<br>
gdal 1.9.0 is only in the Debian experimental repositories, while it
seems that it could be necessary for newest versions of Qgis<br>
(a colleague of mine tested a compilation with gdal 1.9.0 and this
solved a problem of shift of 50 m that i had with some rasters<br>
and on the fly reprojection) with QGIS 1.7.4 on Debian (with libgdal
1.6.3) and unfortunately i had also the same problem <br>
with QGis 1.7.0 and gfoss repository with gdal 1.70)<br>
<br>
Even Debiangis (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis">http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis</a>) has a link to
"DebianGIS Package Thermometer <br>
announces that Qgis in Debian remains an old version <br>
(see "DebianGIS Package Thermometer at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/debiangis-status.html">http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/debiangis-status.html</a>)<br>
<br>
So .. I would like to know what will happen for QGIS users on Debian
in the future Debian versions, and specially if Debian testing reaches
<br>
its "frozen stage" with no more recent version than the 1.4.0 <br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
