So I wanted to help get all the packages lined up for the Precise Pangolin release and was wondering if we have a simple checklist to follow for doing such things (eg. download file, change text in version, do a debuild and then a dput?). I'm talking about existing packages that are already working, though I assume some packages need dep changes (eg. geos).

As a first step I attempted to copy packages from unstable to my personal ppa last night. Some of which worked, but clearly isn't right as the names say oneiric in them.

2nd topic is that I'd like to help clean up and straighten out the packages we've got. For example, move Postgis 1.5 to stable and get Postgis 2.0 into unstable, GDAL 1.8 to stable, GDAL 1.9 to unstable, etc...

I'm hoping that by learning to do the simple stuff and creating a checklist.
1. I can train more people to help do the mundane stuff
2. By handling the more mundane free up you packaging masters to handle the trickier stuff.

Thanks,
Alex
