We mostly need people to do it. Currently osgeo live is more up to
date than ubuntugis. I'm in favor of copying everything from the last
release to -stable and from the upcoming release to -unstable. I can
do this if noone objects.

This only affects trusty. Given that wily has rather recent packages
already I don't think we should focus on providing packages there.
Energy should now probably be spent in making sure that Xerial, the
next LTS release is well tested and has the packages we want. The
debian import freeze is later this month, so now is the last time to
act.

Kind Regards,
Johan

Speaking about GDAL only, it seems unlikely to happen before Debian 
makes the switch to GDAL 2.0.


The packaging is available in the Debian GIS git repository, but only 
last week the final blockers for the transition in Debian were resolved.


Debian will transition to 1.11.4 before switching to 2.0.2, because of 
NEW queue delays for the 2.0 packages.


UbuntuGIS doesn't have the NEW queue issue, but is likely to have other 
reverse dependencies of GDAL that don't support 2.0 yet (because those 
packages aren't in Debian, or because the GDAL 2.0 patches haven't found 
their way into UbuntuGIS yet).


Someone needs to do a round of rebuilds in UbuntuGIS to assess the level 
of support for GDAL 2.0.


Kind Regards,

Bas
