Martin, New ubuntu packages will be produced before mid september with what will hopefully become 1.1.
In the meantime, it is very easy to create Ubuntu packages yourself based on the latest beta release ( I have tested it with Ubuntu 11.04): sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y git-core debhelper devscripts git clone git://github.com/GFDRR/geonode-deb.git cd geonode-deb wget http://dev.geonode.org/release/GeoNode-1.1-beta2.tar.gz tar zxvf GeoNode-1.1-beta2.tar.gz debuild --no-lintian -us -uc # the next command will give you an error because of missing dependencies, do not worry and carry on with the last step) sudo dpkg -i ../geonode_1.1.beta+2_all.deb sudo apt-get install -f Ariel.
