I have not been using the thermometer up to now when looking for something to do, but that is probably because I tend to jump to the QA page from the PTS, and to the Maintainer Dashboard from there (and probably because I have a package that doesn't really fit into a blend). But the thermometer is now bookmarked! I can see that it has the advantage of showing relevant unpackaged applications (one of which I have begun working on again). > > However, I enhanced the code to always pick the last three release names > available in UDD.

Of course it would be great to have the Ubuntu GIS PPAs (Bas mentions on other thread) if we can work that in eventually. But I like the addition of the latest Ubuntu development release (currently vivid) because I do like to help out every six months with syncs and merges for the Ubuntu releases (at least when there isn't a parallel Debian release :-). > > Please provide a proper specification to make this tool as useful as > possible. > > Kind regards > > Andreas. > Regards, Ross -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
