[GRASS-dev] new packages layout in OSGeo4W and Launchpad

Dear GRASS users,

in the light of upcoming release of GRASS GIS 7.0 I would like to
announce a new GRASS package layout in OSGeo4W and Lauchpad.

1) OSGeo4W:

* `grass` - latest stable release (ie. 7.0.0)
* `grass6` - latest stable release of 6.x series
* `grass-daily` - daily build of trunk

See [1,2].

Important note: done only for 32bit installer (64bit installer update
in progress, please stay tuned)

Note for users who wants to stay with GRASS 6:

* remove `grass` package from your installation and install `grass6`

2) Launchpad:

* grass-stable
** `grass7` - latest stable release

* grass-devel
** `grass7-daily` - daily build of trunk

Note for users who have previous version of packages already installed:

* before running `apt-get update` run `sudo apt-get remove grass70
grass70-core grass70-dev grass70-doc grass70-gui` (or/and `grass71`)

See [3,4,5].

Enjoy! Martin
