Hi GRASS devs,
since I have been playing with building GRASS 7 for Ubuntu I have few little
improvement proposals:
1. Current GRASS package version suffix (revno) is currently made from Bazaar
import version, which is meaningless for users (for example:
7.0.0~ppa~2~revno-31311~ubuntu12.04.1 - 31311 is that Bazaar version)
I would propose to update to 0.4 version of Launchpad build recipes and change
{revno} variable to {svn-revno} which will be substituted by GRASS SVN
revision number rather than meaningless Bazaar import revision as it was now.
SVN version is much higher value than BZR, so no problems with upgrades
Also, I propose to update little bit version format to latest standards [1][2].
2. GRASS Stable PPA depends on both ubuntugis-stable and ubuntugis-unstable
PPA repositories which can produce unexpected results. I am proposing to
choose only one of them.
3. GRASS 7 builds should be fixed now (fix is already loaded in bzr). It is
needed to request for build.

I can try to do it recently I became member of the Launchpad team [1].
Do I need administrator status for this job?

This can be changed also by administrator only, I guess?

Thanks a lot for the fix! We definitely need to improve our builds on
Launchpad....

You do not need to be administrator to create a recipe - it is
possible to create a recipe as a user outside of GRASS team (which
will be listed on GRASS page), which will place debs to creator's
personal repository instead of GRASS. The same is with builds - anyone
can request a build using recipe from GRASS, which will generate debs
to his personal repository.
But surely you have to be administrator to update recipe created by
Rashad.

ubuntugis-unstable PPA repositories which can produce unexpected
results. I am proposing to choose only one of them.

I guess too

Martin, the fix was made by You. I was just trying to speed up bzr
synchronization and make a test build.
