[Ubuntu] Fwd: Stable update

[Randal Hale]

I've been working my way through 
http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html to learn 
about packaging gdal.

Of course - there are several closed formats you can build into gdal at 
compile time I'm guessing can't go up here - like sid, ecw and esri's 
fbgdb (which is now covered in the OpenFileGDB driver in DAL). Which we 
would probably need to know about - probably a 'what not to do' would go 
hand in hand with a 'what to do' tutorial.

I want to help - this type of thing I'm a bit weak on but I'm willing to 
learn to make this better. Ubuntu and ubuntugis are my main weapons of 
choice - and I would like to donate back when
possible.

There was talk of a PSC at one point and that died down...interest? Is 
there a place beyond the PPA's where we can start storing Docs and maybe 
VMs? Git?
