this is all that it takes... and all that it ever took. (a patch to properly resolve the overlapping file conflicts when 1.4 was installed manually over the top of 1.3 would have been considered too) Yes, PostGIS 1.4 has been in debian/sid for about a month (once again thanks to Francesco). The only thing keeping it out of debian/testing is that the mips autobuilders are stalled. http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/postgis.html Moreover, Ubuntu only cares to see that the package has built successfully on sid for i386 and amd64, so in fact it has already filtered down into Lucid: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=postgis I see no reason why it could not easily be rebuilt from there for karmic and join UbuntuGIS's ppa.launchpad repo. You just have to convince/bribe one of the good people at UbuntuGIS to do it.
