[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

Binary package hint: qgis

Several new QGIS versions (0.9.0, 0.9.1 and 0.10) with full Python support were released since 2007-10 - look at
http://qgis.org and http://blog.qgis.org/?q=node/91 :

QGIS 0.9.0 Release Announcement
[..]
This release introduces several new features including Python support and many new GRASS modules. The release also includes numerous bug fixes and stability improvements. All versions can be obtained from the download page at http://download.qgis.org.

Major changes in this release are:
    * Python bindings - This is the major focus of this release it is now possible to create plugins using Python. It is also possible to create GIS enabled applications written in Python that use the QGIS libraries.
    * Removed automake build system - QGIS now needs CMake for compilation.
    * Many new GRASS tools added (with thanks to http://faunalia.it)
    * Map Composer updates
    * Crash fix for 2.5D shapefiles
    * The QGIS libraries have been refactored and better organised.
    * Improvements to the GeoReferencer

Please update Ubuntu packages to 0.10.0 (Qgis 0.9.1 was removed from Debian because of packaging/compilation bugs, see http://bugs.debian.org/474604 , but there are already packages of 0.10.0 version, see bellow.)

Unofficial deb packages repository of latest version: deb http://debian.gfoss.it/ lenny main

Latest QGis sources are available at: https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/branches/Release-0.10.0
(according to http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-grass-general/2008-May/003073.html )

AFAIK latest Debian packaging works are at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-grass/packages/qgis/

Now up to version 0.11.0 (see changelog at http://blog.qgis.org/node/119), and on their way to 1.0.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that this package is available in another area.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jef-norbit/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qgis/

is better to add it like this.

Add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jef-norbit/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jef-norbit/ubuntu hardy main

Then do

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qgis

Thanks for the information on how to be currently able to use QGIS.

This bug report was a package request for Ubuntu, which I understand is the method for requesting that a package be made available through Ubuntu's standard repositories.
I see that the current means of access is at Launchpad's PPA, so hopefully the project there will progress from there through to inclusion in the standard Ubuntu repo.

I use Feisty, which has QGIS available (through synaptic).
But was a little concerned to see such a useful program get dropped.
Programs like these could be very useful for local councils, farmers, etc.

Is there a place where a complete list of packages can be viewed (at once), with columns (or rows) showing which versions of Ubuntu (and Debian?) they are included in?

The Ubuntu packages search engine is good for doing checks on individual packages, but this method would be very tedious for getting the overall picture.

Thank you.

Closing Ubuntu report, as qgis no longer exists in Ubuntu.

[Joker Wild (lajjr-deactivatedaccount)]

Marking as invalid it should be added to wish list.

[Joker Wild (lajjr-deactivatedaccount)]
