For Ubuntu the UbuntuGIS PPA provides backports for various GIS & OSM related packages: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis It doesn't include backports for routino or qmapshack yet, but I'm pretty sure they'll be included if asked and especially if someone steps up to maintain the backports. The UbuntuGIS project can be reached via <[email protected]>. I don't use Ubuntu, so I maintain backports of QLGT & QMS for Debian stable only, but the same Debian source packages are used for UbuntuGIS. You can find more information about Debian GIS and its packages via the team website: https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/ The Debian GIS Policy linked from the team website documents the Debian packaging workflow in detail, in case someone would like to work on routino & qmapshack backports for Ubuntu. I'm happy to help anyone working on Debian GIS package for Ubuntu, preferably via the Debian GIS mailing list <[email protected]> Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Qlandkartegt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qlandkartegt-users
