Hei Martin, Do you have any chance to influence the naming of the PPAs?
As recently also discussed on the QGIS mailinglist, packages from a repository named "unstable" can get blocked by system administrators (who not necessarily will take the time to try to understand what is behind all applications), regardless if I as a user tell them that "unstable" actually means "current release"... Would be nice to have a more admin-friendly name there...

This means that currently is used this workflow: OSGeoLive nightly --> UbuntuGIS Testing --> UbuntuGIS Unstable --> UbuntuGIS Stable What does it means for GRASS? 1) experimental packages (like Release Candidates) are uploaded to Testing PPA [1] 2) final version packages are uploaded to Testing and Unstable [2] 3) Stable PPA can contain older version [3] For user who want to help with testing experimental packages: please use Testing PPA otherwise use Unstable (if you prefer up-to-date version) or Stable PPA (you prefer stability - slightly older versions).
