[Ubuntu] UbuntuGIS State

[Jerome Villeneuve Larouche]

Hello,

As most of you know, this summer with the help of Google Summer of Code 
I've been updating and fixing packages in UbuntuGIS.

Currently, everything in Lucid, Precise, Quantal and Raring should be 
updated and working so Unstable should be more "stable". There have been 
a lot of changes in the last updates. Libgdal1 changed named and is now 
Libgdal1h to fix a conflict with Geotiff, the version have been added to 
the postgis packages (postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.0) and a new packages has 
been added for all the scripts (postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.0-scripts) and 
for SHP2PGSL gui, postgis-gui. The libgdal-ecw-src package has been 
updated to be able to compile the ECW plugin for GDAL using the brand 
new ECW 5.0 SDK and it should still work with 3.3. Other than that QGIS 
in Precise and Raring lost the Globe Plugin because of a Osgearth 
update. The other packages have simply been updated without change on 
how they work.

At this point in my project I'm looking for new packages to be added to 
UbuntuGIS. We're already looking to add GeoNode and I've heard that 
Geotools would be a nice addition to the repository. If there are any 
other packages you would like to see added please propose them in the 
mailing list.


As always do not hesitate to send a mail on the mailing list or create a 
ticket on http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis.
