don't worry about those, they are just courtesy notes to packagers about things which could be made more efficient in future. > At any rate, the packages built.

(and good for others to know that it still works) I think knowing how to rebuild packages with a slight tweak is a handy tool to have in your toolbox, so at minimum I hope there was some benefit/reusable knowledge in it for you. :) It is at the same time an incredibly complex dance and a series of 2-3 simple one line commands to make it all happen. you'll want to put a 'hold' on your packages so that they don't get auto- matically upgraded if a new edition gets uploaded to the UbuntuGIS ppa: sudo su echo "package_name_here hold" | dpkg --set-selections if you see spots in the UbuntuGIS wiki where the existing tutorial is out of date, please feel free to update/improve it for next time. regards, Hamish _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
