#11: Sorry, I started with packaging for edgy. Dapper is too old for me :-(

You can of course download sources (via apt-get source) and compile (dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot) them by your self.

#10: Man, that is Java world. It is not that complicated to install uDig on Linux – not compared to C programs, which have to be compiled. Well, if there would be more people asking for uDig packages, I could try to prepare something. But now, I think, it would be only time wasting. BTW: You can try to contact people from Debian-GIS or Ubuntu-GIS project.

Hi,
I am using dapper in my laptop. Can I use your feisty repo for a dapper machine. I do not want to update mine to feisty nor gutsy.

Thank you for maintaining this.

I’d like to see uDig (even the so called ‘release candidates’) available in the Ubuntu repos.

Hi,
I think GDAL with ecw support would be great; new users, and expacially new ubuntu users like me, don’t feel at home compiling from sources…
Anyway: Jachim, many thanks for all your work.

All the best,

Ops…
in my previous comment I said “Mapserver 0.5”... of course I refer to Mapserver 5! Sorry for the error :)
See you!

Hi,
I think it will be very usefull to provide GRASS with the most important addons allready installed. A lot of people (like me!) use Ubuntu but are unable to compile programs. In my case I need to use the GIPE addons.
Thanks for your work!

Hi, thank you all for comments. You are right. If all GIS packages are more or less up-to-date, they would not be in the future. QGIS is here as well as new GDAL, GRASS will come to 6.3.x version. So, the repository will be setuped soon, so you (we) can use actual packages.

Thanks for the support.
