Guys,

For your information, the ubuntugis-testing PPA has ubuntugis-unstable as a dependencies. I've always used the testing ppa to put custom version of a softwares. So a user have to add both repositories to get everything working. Since there is not many packages in testing... I think someone can easily setup the testing ppa, install the new software... and remove/downgrade the packages if they want.

Would be cool if someone could document this in the wiki. Let me know if you need any permissions.

Thanks,
Alan

Yes mixing repos could lead to some issues. There are several ways around:
1. use a virtual machine or other machine to keep them separate (1a
would be a chroot)
2. use apt-pinning to select and keep the versions of particular things
a certain way, some dependencies may break with this method.

Option 1a while complicated would let you use multiple versions at the
same time without VM overhead.

Enjoy,
Alex

I think its possible because version numbers are different.

GRASS GIS in ubuntu-testing is grass70, grass70-dev. but if grass70 is
said to replace grass then only the last installed will be taken.

Maybe other in the list have better answers :)

An Elementary questions about ubuntugis PPAs. Is it possible to have
separated installations of Ubuntugis-unstable and Ubuntugis-testing? Or is
it simplest to create a virtuall-machine and run it separated?

Cheers

Hi All,

I dont weather you are getting updates on new packages added to PPA
ubuntugis-testing. I had uploaded GRASS GIS 7.0(svn54570) and OSSIM
(svn2201). If someone can test that would be great
