[Ubuntu] GSoC UbuntuGIS Report

[Jerome Villeneuve Larouche]

Hi,

I'm making a small report before the end of the GSoC to let you know 
about the latest addition to UbutunGIS and what's going on about the 
Debian Stable repository.

University is already started so in the last weeks I had a lot less time 
to put toward my GSoC, this is also why I started working on it in advance.

I've finished the GDAL and Mapserver Oracle plugins. They are available 
in Raring, Precise, Quantal and Lucid. There are two small tutorials on 
the Wiki to explain how they work.

I'm also almost done setting up a server for a Debian Wheezy repository. 
I'm making this repo to make life easier for people on Debian Stable who 
don't want to do some apt-pinning with the unstable repo. All the 
packages on this repository will be built against packages available in 
Wheezy so there shouldn't be any conflicts.


I know that there are some packages that were in my todo list that 
weren't done, I haven't forgotten them and I'll try to work on them 
later :).

As always if you have any problem feel free to ask on the mailing list 
or open a ticket on the UbuntuGIS wiki.

Thank you
Jérôme
