Please sync from debian 5.2.1-1

[Patrice Vetsel]

5.0.3 is old, please sync 5.2.1-1 from debian

[Alan Boudreault (aboudreault)]

FYI, I think i'll wait a week or so. MapServer 5.2.2 is supposed to be
released soon. Once it's released, i'll modify the debian package for
DebianGIS and make the ubuntuGIS one.

Regards,
Alan

Sorry, i thought that this bug was a "ubuntuGIS" bug. My packages will
be in the "ubuntuGIS" PPA, not in ubuntu repository. The ubuntu
repository are always synchronized with Debian unstable, and mapserver
5.2.1 is still in debian experimental.

Members:

As of this post, the current version of MapServer is 5.4.

My questions relate to the comment of a members previous post

" MapServer 5.2.2 is supposed to be released soon. Once it's released, i'll modify the debian package for
DebianGIS and make the ubuntuGIS one."

(1) I would like to know where to obtain the most recent, and most complete MapServer packages for Ubuntu 9.04 Server on AMD64 ? I would like to find a sources (repositories) which offer packages including all MapServer dependencies (except Apache, PHP, Curl, and Pear) which are already installed on my server.

(2) I am also seeking step-by-step installation and testing instructions for MapServer and its dependent libraries and resources.

I am hoping to find packages which can use my fully-functioning Apache2 installation, rather than a package such as FGS, which includes its own installations of Apache, PHP, supporting libraries, etc, and which I (and some others) have not been able to install and get working ... in particular, starting FGS Apache fails with errors.

The only bug I have to report is that "it bugs me that MapServer installation packages and installation information are so scarce for Linux".

Sincerely,

[Alan Boudreault (aboudreault)]

Hi Kris,

(1) There are a few packages in the UbuntuGIS PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable (including MapServer 5.4.0 for Jaunty)

(2) In fact, you can test any MapServer installation with any mapserver application (mapfile with data). A tutorial could surely be found on www.mapserver.org

If you test the current UbuntuGIS packages, thanks to let me know your feedback or any bug.

Alan
