[Ubuntu] Re: [Qgis-user] Re: [Qgis-developer] Critical problems with 1.7.2 from ubuntu binaries

[Alex Mandel]

The mailing list is on osgeo:
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu

I should probably put that on launchpad somewhere.

Bug reporting should be possible if you have a launchpad account, hmm or
were we using a trac instance for that. I'll have to go check.

Thanks,
Alex
