[Ubuntu] UbuntuGIS Weekly Report 4

[Uggla Henrik]

Hi,

On Ubuntu Precise there is a dependency issue when installing Postgis from the postgresql.org repository together with Qgis from Ubuntugis-unstable.

Postgis from postgresql.org has libgdal1 as a dependency but Qgis replaces this package with libgdal1h, which in turn removes Postgis. Reinstall Postgis and libgdal1h is replaced with libgdal1 and Qgis is removed. I've seen others reporting the same issue on qgis-user mailinglist. A simple workaround would be to install Postgis from Ubuntugis-unstable instead but I would prefer the "official" package. Why do we need to rename libgdal1? Could you please fix this?

Regards
Henrik Uggla

Hi,

This week I worked on updating Lucid's packages and pushing gdal 1.11 on
Trusty.
I had some problem with gdal 1.11 on lucid with multiarch and older
libs. It seems to be working now.

To the people on the UbuntuGIS mailing list. I discussed with people in
the OsgeoLive meeting that Lucid might not need to be updated since
people who are using it don't really need the latest softwares and are
fine with the current packages. So for now I think I'll leave it as it
is and if you have any problem please report them and I'll work on
fixing them as fast as I can.

So I'm still not done rebuilding everything on Trusty but I plan on
completing it today or tomorrow.

For next week, I'll probably start looking into packaging .war to .deb
file. I'll ask around to what package I should start working on. So I'm
open to suggestion.
