Hi all, GRASS 7.0.5 has been released and the Debian packages have been updated accordingly and uploaded to unstable. Martin will likely soon update the grass package in ubuntugis-unstable.
Because of the tight version requirements for the GDAL GRASS plugin, whenever a new GRASS version is uploaded the libgdal-grass package needs to be rebuilt with that version. For the changes required see this commit for the libgdal-grass 2.1.1 package in Debian: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/gdal-grass.git/commit/?id=cca9c46f23e0c33e2333fe2afb69c49925d75568 The incremented version in the build dependencies and the virtual GRASS ABI package are required for the package in UbuntuGIS too. UbuntuGIS still uses GDAL 2.1.0 instead of 2.1.1 as in Debian, so the GDAL version does not need to be incremented nor should the 2.1.1 version from Debian be used (updating GDAL to a new version requires a rebuild of its reverse dependencies). I've prepared branches for UbuntuGIS in gdal-grass git repository on Alioth which only need to be updated for GRASS 7.0.5: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/gdal-grass.git/log/?h=ubuntu/trusty https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/gdal-grass.git/log/?h=ubuntu/xenial The procedure to create these branches using the source packages from Launchpad is now also documented in the Debian GIS policy: https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html#git-import-dsc There is currently no libgdal-grass package for xenial in the ubuntugis-unstable repository, so adding it now is a good opportunity. I've prepared the ubuntu/xenial branch using the packaging from OSGeo-Live. I've also updated the transition trackers for UbuntuGIS which currently shows libgdal-grass as bad for trusty because it doesn't depend on the grass705 virtual ABI package yet. The tracker for xenial doesn't include libgdal-grass because the package is not available for xenial yet: http://linuxminded.nl/tmp/pkg-grass-transitions/ubuntugis-unstable/trusty/html/grass.html http://linuxminded.nl/tmp/pkg-grass-transitions/ubuntugis-unstable/xenial/html/grass.html @Martin, will you update libgdal-grass along with grass for 7.0.5 as I've done for Debian?
