[Ubuntu] GDAL Packaging

[Frank Warmerdam]

Jerome,

I tried to follow it and ran into a problem at:

vagrant at precise64:/vagrant/packages/gdal/gdal$ pbuilder-dist precise amd64
build ../gdal_1.10.0-1~precise2.dsc
pbuilder-dist: Error: "" is an invalid distribution codename.

I found that pbuilder-dist is a bash function which does:

export OTHERMIRROR="deb [trusted=yes]
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu  main"
/usr/bin/pbuilder-dist ""

The error seems to be trying to use the "" arg as the dist.  How is this
supposed to work?

I did skip the .dput.cf step.  There is also some question if bootstrap.sh
really worked properly as by the time it was done it has corrupted my
terminal mode and I couldn't see what was really happening.

Best regards,
Frnak
