[Ubuntu] Backporting of Apps

[Gandalf the Gray]

Hi Angelos and others.

I have successfully rebuilt the following agains standard libs in Ubuntu
NOble:

ITK
OSSIM
OTB
PDAL
SAGA
GRASS and GDAL-GRASS and
QGIS

I have the following questions though:

1.  Packages like GDAL-GRASS that rely on GRASS.  I see that in order for
that to be built, the PPA has to have a dependency on the GRASS PPA.  Can
those two exist in the same PPA?  Does the GRASS package in the PPA need to
be published before I do the GDAL-GRASS build?
(I currently have them in separate PPA's with the GDAL-GRASS PPA having my
GRASS PPA as dependency.  I want to basically simplify my PPA's  as I have
separate PPA's for the above packages.  I want to do what you do for
UbuntuGIS Unstable.

2.  If there is an update to for example QGIS, and you are not providing
the package in Unstable, how do I go about building my own update?  After a
completed build, can I remove the older version of the package?

3.  Coupled with 2, if I decide to for instance build OTB against ITK 5
instead of ITK 4, how do I accomplish that?

4.  Packages that are not provided in a PPA, how do I get that in a PPA (as
example a package like PostGIS MonilityDB from the PostgreSQL APT repo?

Thanks again for all the guidance!!  I have learnt a lot in the last few
days!!!!!

I am more than willing in building packages that you want to include in any
of the PPA's for example OSGeoLIVE, but do not have the time for.

Regards.

Pieter
