I've been working my way through http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html to learn about packaging gdal.

Of course - there are several closed formats you can build into gdal at compile time I'm guessing can't go up here - like sid, ecw and esri's fbgdb (which is now covered in the OpenFileGDB driver in DAL). Which we would probably need to know about - probably a 'what not to do' would go hand in hand with a 'what to do' tutorial.

I want to help - this type of thing I'm a bit weak on but I'm willing to learn to make this better. Ubuntu and ubuntugis are my main weapons of choice - and I would like to donate back when
possible.

There was talk of a PSC at one point and that died down...interest? Is there a place beyond the PPA's where we can start storing Docs and maybe VMs? Git?

Hello,

I'm with Worth Lutz. I would like to help but I have no knowledge/experience in packaging.

Could you create a tutorial to setup a development environment for packaging. I supose Virtual Machines could be good for this.

Thanks

    I agree, lacking man power was the main reason why I suggested to have
    only two repos:

    * ubuntugis-stable
    * ubuntugis-experimental (RCs, ...)
