Thanks for answer, Martin
Release candidates should not go into ubuntugis-unstable in my opinion, just like they generally don't go into Debian unstable. The should be uploaded to ubuntugis-experimental like they are uploaded to Debian experimental until the final release (assuming no transition is required). The ubuntugis-testing repository is currently abused for this purpose, but it should be renamed to ubuntugis-experimental because it no longer matches the Debian package transition flow which the UbuntuGIS PPAs mirrored: [experimental ->] unstable -> testing -> stable Breaking users systems with pre-releases uploaded to ubuntugis-unstable may not be a bad idea though, to encourage users to not use it for production purposes who should stick to stable releases on their systems.
