Hi,

After testing all aplications on beta9 these are the issues found so far:

* Geonetwork - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/990
* Mapfish - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/991
* Rasdaman not included due to https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/988
* Sahana - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/992
* Ushahidi - https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/969 (this is now fixed in trunk but present in beta9 iso)

Regards,
Angelos

Greetings,

After 8 days of restless development we are releasing beta 9 towards version 6.0 of OSGeoLive: [1], [2]

After our last release (beta7) we came across a blocker issue: remastersys, our method for creating iso files on all our previous releases, proved to be broken for Xubuntu 12.04. The result was to have a non-installable iso for beta8. After contacting remastersys developers and lots of testing/debugging, unfortunately this was not resolved.

So we had to move to a new method to create our distribution, and what better way than the official Ubuntu method for spinoffs [3]. This was already planned for OSGeoLive 6.5 but we had to bring it in now.

We managed to hack the new method [4], [5] to be able to use our current installation scripts [6] without major changes, but there have been some failures [7] that we need to resolve.

The result of all this: we are now behind our release schedule [8], but we are fighting to make it on time. For this we kindly ask all included projects in OSGeoLive to step up, test their application on the new iso [1] (as described in quickstart documentation [9]) and provide feedback here [7].

Best regards,
Angelos
