You can find almost real-time updates about DebianGis status on [[http://twitter.com/debiangis|Twitter]].
It is open (i.e. it does not require an account to be browsed) and provides also RSS feeding.

2010-02:
 * Qgis 1.4.0 is in unstable (after nearly two years)

2009-05:
 * Spatialite 2.3.0 in
 * Grass 6.4.0rc4 entered testing
 * Gdal 1.6.1 in experimental (-2 good for python)
 * Dans-gdal-scripts in

2009-03:

 * The long march to new HDF4/5 has become.
 * Changed proj4 package structure (-3 good, -2 bad).
 * Spatialite 2.3-pre uploaded
 * Out-of-main gdal-ecw plugin ready along with libecw package (to be concerted with debian.gfoss.it).
 * New interesting stuff: dans-gdal-scripts, thanks Dan for its immediate release update to 0.14.
 * New poll in qgis-dev list about qgis libraries status.

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.

2008-07:

 * Solved a bad issue with GDAL, now all major packages are in shape for freezing.
 * Qgis is out of lenny :-(
 * Paraview has been packaged by Debian-Science team and will be part of lenny :-)
 * HDF4 is now in much better shape.
 * GMT is up-to-date.

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.
 * Frozen major upgrades for HDF libraries. AFAIK recent major releases are still not sufficiently tested with the heavy weights packages.

2008-05:
 * Ossim stuff uploaded onto svn repo, still far from being releasable, but it appears having some shape.

2007-10-17:

 * New upstream versions of gmt and gpsdrive uploaded. Both them are in NEW queue.

2007-10-16:

 * Current grass and qgis still missing in lenny due to independent causes (sparc/arm buildd failures)

2007-10-11:

 * Issued first report

2007-10-10:

 * New packages entered main:
  * libgeotiff-dfsg
  * gosmore
  * viking
  * mapnik

 * New package entered non-free:
  * libgeotiff-epsg

 * Current packages on bpo:
  * gdal 1.4.2
  * grass 6.2.1
  * ogdi 3.2.0~beta1-3
  * proj 4.5.0-2

2007-09-26:
 * Mainstream packages now available in sid/lenny:
  * gdal 1.4.2
  * grass 6.2.2
  * mapserver 4.10.3 (5.0 on svn)
  * qgis 0.8.1

2007-09-22:
 * A new branch for grass 6.3 from CVS has been added to DebianGis svn repository. It will be updated from time to time using 6.3 snapshots.

2007-08-05:
 * [[DebianGis/LiveImages|Live CD image]] with the GIS tools available in Debian is created based on the draft tasksel task.

2007-07-24:
 * ogdi-dfsg and gdal 1.4.1 accepted in [[http://www.backports.org/|backports.org]]. Main up-to-date DebianGis packages can now enter straight on the Etch backports archive. DebianGis thermometer script changed to include backports archive status from now on.

2007-07-18:
 * grass 6.2.2 in sid (upstream released on 16th)

2007-06-27:
 * DebianGis binary archive has been removed. Backports will be uploaded onto [[http://www.backports.org/|backports.org]] which offers an unofficial buildd network.
Line 7: Line 123:
 * EDI Meeting at DebConf7 happened. Minutes available at [[DebianGis/EdiMeetingMinutes]]
Line 16: Line 133:
  * Geotiff (still not in main, due to license issues for some data)   * Geotiff
Line 25: Line 142:
 * ECW library has gone. Ermapper changed previous license in an EULA, so packaging is no more possible.
