2009-02:

 Development restarted after Lenny release. Some core package are finding their way to testing and future Squeeze.
 Still doubts about Qgis status.

 * Gdal 1.5.4 in testing, ready for Lenny backports, just waiting the Grass plugin.
 * Gdal 1.6.0 in experimental.
 * Grass 6.4.0rc3 in sid.
 * Proj updated to 4.6.1 with some non trivial fixes. A backport would be nice too.

2009-01:

 Very tiny activity in the latest months due to long freezing time for lenny :-( Almost all development
 happens within the svn repository.

 * Qgis is still out-of-main but in decent shape on svn repo.
 * Gdal 1.5.3 and 1.6.0 is available on svn repo.
 * Grass has been branched on svn repo to follow 6.4.
 * Cameron Shorter contributed with an UbuntuGis version of the package thermometer and revamped
   UbuntuGis efforts. That could result in new contributions back to Debian too.

What's up in DebianGis?

2008-06:

  • Quite intensive activity to fix major issues with gdal, mapserver and postgis.
  • Qgis is out of main, probably not in Lenny. Helpers are (possibly) working on that.
