[GRASS-user] up-to-date packages in UbuntuGIS

GRASS GRASS user
1

Dear Ubuntu users,

recently I have stopped producing GRASS stable packages for GRASS
Launchpad PPA [1] (for those how are still using this PPA, uninstall
grass7 package and remove this PPA from the source list). There is
only one alive PPA used for daily builds [2] - grass-daily package.

Some days ago I started producing up-to-date packages for UbuntuGIS
(unstable) [3]. So please switch to this repo if you are using Ubuntu
when installing GRASS.

Hi Martin,

So are there any upstream packages for GRASS stable versions (i.e. 7.0.2 which will get updated when 7.0.3 gets released etc)? For various reasons, I’d rather not use RC packages.

Thank you for your efforts,
Panos

Hi Panos, Until 7.0.3 gets released you can use the 7.0.2 package from OSGeoLive ppa here: Best, Angelos

Could you or someone else also comment whether the folloing is accurate?

   - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grass The official packages.
   Oudated so you probably don't want to use them.
   - https://launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/ubuntu/grass-stable is deprecated
   - https://launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/ubuntu/grass-devel is used for
   daily builds of 7.1.#
   - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ppa is used for
stable releases
   of 6.4.#
   - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntugis-unstable is
   used for releases of 7.0.# but it may contain RC versions too.
   - https://launchpad.net/~osgeolive/+archive/ubuntu/nightly nightly
   builds for OSGeo Live CD. It has the current GRASS stable version (i.e.
   7.0.2 or whatever).

I am mostly interested in using a ppa with the stable releases of the 7.0.#
branch.

all the best,
Panos

Hi,

wily contains 7.0.1, so I would not say that they are "outdated" so much.

https://launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/ubuntu/grass-stable is deprecated
https://launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/ubuntu/grass-devel is used for daily
builds of 7.1.#
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ppa is used for stable
releases of 6.4.#
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntugis-unstable is used
for releases of 7.0.# but it may contain RC versions too.

hm, we could change that to:

1) may *not* contain RC versions
2) RC version could be distributed via
https://launchpad.net/~grass/+archive/ubuntu/grass-stable

What do you think?

FYI, there is a current plan for UbuntuGIS Stable ppa to get the latest released packages from OSGeoLive 9.0 and UbuntuGIS Unstable ppa to get the packages from OSGeoLive 9.5 (which got input from DebianGIS) when it reaches RC status.
Of course when GRASS 7.0.3 is released, it will land in UbuntuGIS Unstable.

Best,
Angelos

this PPA doesn't seems to be maintained for several years, please ask
on UbuntuGIS. That's what I didn't understand too. Ma
