Hi,
I've drafted a press release for the start of OSGeo-Live 9.5 build cycle:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Press_Release_62
Of note, it seems that the big 2016 conference events which previously were
running in March, are running later this year (FOSS4G NA 6 May, FOSSGIS 4
July), so we will have a bit more time to create the 9.5 release. Are there
any other FOSS4G related events we should be tracking?
Also important: next year ubuntu xenial will be released, which is the
next long term release version of Ubuntu.
Based on previous decisions, Xenial is going to be our base for
OSGeo-Live 10.0+, yes.
Thanks to the work of Debian GIS (and Bas in particular) this release
will already contain much of latest packages which we are also using
on the live dvd. Perhaps it is useful to use the latest (wily) release
before this LTS as a basis for this release rather than trusty, as
this will help test those packages in an environment which is more
similar to the one which will be the next long term stable release.
Yes, Wily (15.10) is much closer to the Xenial packages (plus it
includes systemd which potentially might cause some issues with our
build process)
On the other side, Wily is generally less stable than Trusty LTS.
While we would have the Debian GIS work available (6 months old, not
current), we would need to port projects that only do Ubuntu
packaging/testing for LTS releases.
Another important choice to make early in the release cycle is whether
we switch to gdal 2 or not. Most packages already support gdal 2 [1],
but the ones using install scripts have to be checked again.
I'm in favor of switching to gdal 2.
I am in favor of switching to GDAL 2.x as long as all downstream
projects in the disk have a stable release supporting it.
At this moment this is not the case.
Kind Regards,
Johan
