Custom installed core infrastructure is a total nightmare to maintain system-wide, and my/our time is better spend elsewhere. if $you want to see postgis 2.0 on the live dvd at some point, the best thing to do is to get the postgis maintainers more involved in the DebianGIS mailing list; ie get the wheels spinning at the source. there have been previous discussions/ status updates there before AFAIR, search through the archives for answers first. and/or add constructive content to this ticket: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=667966 you might also ping Stephen Frost (although he should get cc'd automatically on any traffic to that ticket). thanks, Hamish _______________________________________________ Live-demo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo http://live.osgeo.org http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
