Thanx Remi for bringing this up ... I didn't dare to ...
The problem with compiling the dev version imho is, that you will have
to recompile it permanently if you are trying to be of any help with bug
tracking, am I right? (Haven't compiled anything yet, cause I don't get
rid of the knots in my brain)
On the other hand, to use QGIS "professionaly", I need GDAL with FGDB
and MrSID support, so I will have to compile GDAL myself beforehand.
But wanting to use it for work, I better not use the master version but
the stable.
So, as I see it, it would be much better to compile the stable version
and then get the master version for the candies and the testing from
debian-nightly.
But all guidelines propose it the other way round, which I do not really
understand ...
Said this, when I want to compile the stable version instead of the
master, but with a "handmade" GDAL, is there any way to take benefit
from the ubuntugis-unstable repository (things I can install beforehand
and then disabling the repository again)?
As I said, I have knots in my brain on this and never managed to have a
nice and easy environment on Ubuntu as I have with Windows (which is
saaaad....)
Can someone help me with the surgery?
Cheers

The only non-compile way I can think of on an Ubuntu box would be to run
a virtual machine. Otherwise you have to compile to avoid package
manager conflicts.
So up to you which is more time/hassle to setup.
Enjoy,

AFAIK, you have to build your own version (preferrably master) with a
different install prefix (e.g. /home/softdev/), and when you want to use
that version you need to add relevant paths to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I have a shell function that sets this up on demand:
setup_softdev()
{
export SOFT_PREFIX=/home/softdev
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/softdev/lib"
export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/softdev/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH=/home/softdev/lib
export PATH=/home/softdev/bin:$PATH
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/softdev/include
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/softdev/include
export CPPFLAGS=-I/home/softdev/include
export PYTHONPATH=/home/softdev/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
export GDAL_DATA=/home/softdev/share/gdal
}
export -f setup_softdev

Hi list,
I'm wondering if there is there a simple way to run stable and master
versions of QGIS on Ubuntu? By simple, I mean - if possible - without
compile QGIS from source.
For now, as described in doc [1], I edit /etc/apt/sources.list to
define
which repository to use : http://qgis.org/debian or
http://qgis.org/debian-nightly. But doing like this, I cannot run
the two
versions at the same time.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Rémi
