[Ubuntu] Question on QGIS Build and SIP

[Randal Hale]

Alex - thank you!

I saw where he was updating but I wanted to learn a bit more on how all 
of this clicks together. I've got two sore spots - Mr SID and ESRI File 
Based Geodatabases so I decided to do a custom build to see if I could 
get it done and remotely do it in the right order. I learned quite a bit 
on my first go around. I might try it again tonight for kicks.

Thanks again.

Randy
