Hi all, Ubuntugis has seen relatively little attention recently. Partly, this may actually be a good sign: Debian GIS has been improving a lot lately, which means that Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) and Ubuntu Utopic (14.10) were released with many recent libraries/programs out of the box.
Personally I believe that this should also change the way we operate: I think we should focus more on having "universe" (the repository provided by ubuntu) well maintained. There are a few things which can be done: triaging bugfixes, uploading security updates and sync requests (especially during debian freeze). If we have a well maintained universe, I think we can drop most of the releases to the ubuntugis-stable ppa. For ubuntugis-unstable, I think we can and should keep up to date with anything that goes into debian. We should also avoid having a fork where we have different versions between ubuntu and debian. This way we actually ensure that the packages that go into the offical archives are working well. I think we should also consider removing the "testing" archive. The name is confusing for those who know the debian meaning of testing, and it is mostly empty. It is perfectly possible to create your own temporary ppa for testing should it be necessary. This are my thoughts, but I really want to encourage everyone to say what should be the priorities.
