Hi Regina,
Thanks for your review of the PostGIS docs on OSGeo-Live and identifying
that the PostGIS quickstart is out of date and needs work. This is quite
important as PostGIS is one of the core projects in most OSGeobased systems.
With regards to updating, we are short of time, with our first release
candidate due in 3 days, and final release due in 2 weeks. [1]
I'm wondering if there is anyone who can help Regina out this weekend? I
can commit to reviewing docs once created. I've created a ticket to
track this [2].
Regina, I'll bump the version number of the PostGIS Project Overview as
you suggest.

Cameron,
It looks like you guys never had much on the overview page anyway except for
the version number.
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/en/overview/postgis_overv
iew.rst
So given that I would just update the version to 2.2.1 .
The quick starter guide on the other hand needs some work.
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/en/quickstart/postgis_qui
ckstart.rst
1) It is using ST_Distance_Sphere which got deprecated in 2.2.0 and will be
removed in the future.
That should be changed to ST_DistanceSphere.
http://postgis.net/docs/ST_DistanceSphere.html
2) The QGIS images are a bit out of date. For example I think PostGIS
Manager got renamed to DB Manager and got more encompassing to satisfy
SpatialIte too.
I'm a bit strapped for time this month, but if you are not in too much of a
rush, I could spruce up the quick start next month and send a pull request.
Thanks,
Regina

Hey guys,
Any chance one of you could take a crack at fixing up the Project Overview
(or tell me there is nothing to do).
Cheers, Cameron

Hi Regina, Brian, Barry,
Sounds like a doc update is in order?
Would one of you mind updating the Project Overview, create a git pull
request, and then I'll review.
Are there any updates required for the Quickstart?
Warm regards, Cameron

Key features in PostGIS 2.2 are
1) KNN now supported for geography and 3D geometries.
Prior versions only supported for 2D geometry.
2) KNN true-distance functionality for PostgreSQL 9.5. This is for
all KNN including the new 3D and geography. Does OSGeo live have 9.5?
What this means is the distance returned by the spatial index KNN
operators is the actual distance and not the bounding box or
bounding box centroid distance Of prior versions.
3) Ability to build raster overviews in the database without having
to rely on raster2pgsql. Means you can have overviews without
reloading your raster data.
4) Tiger geocoder upgraded to support Tiger 2015
5) New extensions address_standardizer (not sure if you have
postgis_sfcgal packaged, but that became an extension in PostGIS 2.2)
6) Lots of other neat functions noted in the release notes

Hi Brian, Barry, Regina,
The OSGeo-Live Project Overview for postgis currently describes
version 2.1.3, however version 2.2.1 is installed on the next
OSGeo-Live9.5 release.
Are there any features which should be added to the Project Overview,
or does the doc just require a version update?
You can see the latest nightly OSGeo-Live docs here:
http://adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org/livedvd/docs/en/overview/overview.html
And docs are in git here: https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc
Warm regards,
