So not even the > stable 6.4.0 seems to be available. actually RC6+r42329 is essentially 6.4.0 final, but with the default GUI still set to tcl/tk. (ie all bugfixes up to 6.4.0, but no new features which would require packaging changes) > Does anyone know how to improve that situation? Yes, the UbuntuGIS project (ubuntu at lists dot osgeo.org) maintains a repository of more modern GRASS, GDAL, etc packages. It is simple to add them as a package source and upgrade to something newer: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable I'd note that since the new Debian stable is released, things are now unfrozen there and Frankie has just uploaded a new 6.4.0 to debian/ unstable yesterday, http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/grass.html That will filter through to ubuntu & other derivatives soon enough. (due to freeze policy of allowing bug fixes but not uploads of new versions, what ended up in the just-released Debian/Squeeze was 6.4.0rc6 + all bug fixes up to 6.4.0. so if you look up when r42329 is, it's really better than it sounds by just the rc6 version number at face value) Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
