FYI pc -------- Messaggio Originale -------- Oggetto: [DebianGIS] Freezing is not so far in the future, aka Where 1.0 Data: Mon, 12 May 2008 20:45:19 +0200 Da: Francesco P. Lovergine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all This message is a very informal and incomplete report about our Status of the Map. I would remind that package freezing is roughly expected in mid July. People is warmly invited to think ASAP what upstream versions should go into Lenny. Two months are not a so long time in the future and please consider that our packages have a not so large user base for testing. Many packages also have a quite long dependencies chain which could slow down britney job. So be very careful and defensive in uploading new versions. There will be the possibility of uploading GDAL 1.5.2 (probably), hdf5 1.6.7 and hdf4 4.2r1 for lenny. IMHO grass is already frozen (but for a probable 6.3.0 preview version to be uploaded in parallel with the stable release). It would be nice to know if we have already to consider frozen PostGis and Mapserver, but for some minor adjustment. If people had to point patches for known upstream issues it would be great. ... Finally, we are still lacking human resources. Which is not a news for this project, but I can see the same problems in other teams, such as the Tcl/Tk group, sigh. We are in a bit better status than one year ago anyway. I would prefer that some folks who anyway do some packaging efforts out there in the GIS world would collaborate here. But hey, we are in a free world and I know that Debian standars are quite high and demanding ... Happy gis-hacking to all -- Francesco P.
