hi all, the package currently in sid was installable in sid for a very little time only, untill multi-version postgresql has been introduced. ironically, it is well suitable for sarge and woody.
as i have repeatedly answered previous initiatives, this package may be removed from sid. i have created a new postgis package, that has been candidate in new, but has been bounced. as the only postgis package available is the one above, almost all bug reports and the bouncing reasons for the newer package are been filed against the older one. note that both the old package (in sid now), and the newer one are currently been used in various production applications. anyway, i have made a new postgis package, that fixes the whole list of bugs and bouncing reasons, and uploaded it on debian gis. the new sponsor (fabio Tranchitella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) is eager to cooperate on uploading it asap. alex Peter Eisentraut wrote: > Thomas Bushnell BSG wrote: > >>Peter Eisentraut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> >>>Something has to be done about the postgis package.
