Spatialite - like many projects - is moving along faster than the package maintainers can repackage. The components of the spatialite stack available for Ubuntu from the repos are nearly a year old, and some are not available yet at all (the new "readosm" tool and the library to connect to xls files). Previously, in 5.5 we had one package, spatialite-bin, and a few
other pieces compiled in. Even then we were installing older
versions. I've put together a new install_spatialite.sh script [1] which downloads and compiles the whole spatialite suite. It seems to be working well on a VM of the alpha1 build that Angelos has prepared. Before I suggest to push it into the build scripts, can others have a look, and try it out so the bugs surface? One caveat: to build all the components of the suite requires
several dev packages that are not part of the default xubuntu
distro. I install them all as part of the script, and this totals
to around 20 MB of disk space. And worse, some of the spatialite
components need a c++ compiler, also not part of xubuntu by
default. When I install g++ we take a hit of another ~25MB of disk
space. I guess I should add a apt-get purge for all these
additional development packages after the builds are done to
recover disk space? Thanks, Micha [1] http://www.surfaces.co.il/dl/install_spatialite.sh
