It's an en masse package scrape. In that sense, Frankie and me _are_ the Ubuntu maintainers, albeit in a removed way. For the UbuntuGIS ppa I don't know if Alan is doing anything besides pressing the "go" button to rebuild from the latest Debian sources, or if there is any manual tweaking going on besides the slight library package name variations due to library transition timing? I don't know. adding GEOS as a build dependency to GRASS is something worth discussing on-the-record with the other DebianGIS devs and other DDs who follow along, since GEOS is often acting to keep other packages from leaving Debian/unstable, causing a big log jam, and grass would become a victim of that. Hence I suggest if support for GEOS is desired in the official debian/ubuntu /mint/etc. packages, that a wish report be filed for it at b.d.o. cheers, Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
