Re: [postgis-users] Are there any Ubuntu PPAs that serve PostGIS 2.0 beta releases?
So, is the below the best way to get the goodies of 2.0.0 for Ubuntu? It’s a theoretical question, as I have GEOS and GDAL in place, but for the curious… .

Ok, I now have a nightly build set up that is tracking the PostGIS
trunk. Binaries are being built for Oneric (11.11) and Precise
(12.04-dev) and can be installed thusly:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:sharpie/postgis-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1-postgis
Caveats:
* No build of `postgis` or `libpostgis-java`, the only package
provided is `postgresql-9.1-postgis` which contains the PostGIS
plugins, extensions and command line tools.
* Builds against GEOS 3.2.2, supplied by the standard Ubuntu
repositories, thus the topology extension is unavailable.
* Builds against GDAL 1.7.0, supplied by the standard Ubuntu
repositories, thus some raster functionalities are unavailable.
The raw materials that went into creating this build were the PostGIS
repository on Launchpad which synchs with the upstream SVN trunk
~every 6 hours:
https://code.launchpad.net/~registry/postgis/trunk
This repostory can be cloned using bazaar via `bzr branch lp:postgis`.
The other component is the official Ubuntu PostGIS repository that
contains the debian packaging materials:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/postgis/precise
This repository can be cloned using `bzr branch lp:ubuntu/postgis`. My
strategy was to fork `lp:ubuntu/postgis`, edit the contents of the
debian subdirectory to make it compatible with 2.0-dev and then
publish the edited fork to Launchpad under my `+junk` section. After
this was done, I set up a `bzr-builder` recipe that fuses
`lp:postigs`, which tracks the upstream PostGIS repo, with the debian
subdirectory contained in `lp:~sharpie/+junk/postgis`, which contains
my edited packaging info, to create a nightly build:
# bzr-builder format 0.3 deb-version
{debupstream}~r{revno}~ppa{revno:packaging}
lp:postgis
nest-part packaging lp:~sharpie/+junk/postgis debian debian
Pretty slick. I will ponder upgrading GEOS and GDAL and setting up a
stable build for the most recent beta releases.

You are right, but there notices in http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-svn/postgis_installation.html#id2744974 GEOS geometry library, version 3.2.2 or greater, but GEOS 3.3.2+ is recommended. Without GEOS 3.3, you will be missing some major enhancements with handling of topological exceptions and improvements to geometry validation and making geometries valid such as ST_ValidDetail and ST_MakeValid. GEOS 3.3.2+ is also required for topology support. GEOS is available for download fromhttp://trac.osgeo.org/geos/and 3.3+ is backward-compatible with older versions so fairly safe to upgrade. GDAL, version 1.6 or higher (1.9 or higher is preferable since some things will not work well with lower versions). This is needed for raster support and will be required in final release of PostGIS 2.0.http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource. I am no expert, but I am not sure it's good idea to deliver builds of postgis in a sub-optimal config.

GEOS is available for download fromhttp://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/and 3.3+ is backward-compatible with older versions so fairly safe to upgrade. GDAL, version 1.6 or higher (1.9 or higher is preferable since some things will not work well with lower versions). This is needed for raster support and will be required in final release of PostGIS 2.0. http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource. I am no expert, but I am not sure it's good idea to deliver builds of postgis in a sub-optimal config.

Re: [postgis-users] Are there any Ubuntu PPAs that serve PostGIS 2.0 beta releases?
For compiling 2.0 for Ubuntu, I’d recommend doing a custom build of GDAL 1.9 with GEOS 3.3.2—otherwise you’ll have the package manager bringing in GEOS 3.2.x for GDAL 1.7, and then you’ll have two GEOS libraries floating out there… .

Yeah, this is what was fixed in r9499 by using the autoconf lib search or whatever the command is..

[postgis-users] Are there any Ubuntu PPAs that serve PostGIS 2.0 beta releases?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has a Personal Package Archive for Ubuntu that is tracking the 2.0 beta releases. I looked at the UbuntuGIS and Postgis project pages on Launchpad, but the only releases listed there were for 1.5.x. Even the unstable repostory of UbuntuGIS was still tracking 1.5.x. -Charlie ___ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
