Short sidenotes from a basic Ubuntu-User:
1.) It is a great step to have repositories for GRASS and straight forward to stream these with Ubuntu-GIS.
Thanks Martin! I am sure this will be of benefit for many GRASS-beginners!
2.) I upgraded Ubuntu from 15.04 (vivid) to 15.10 (wily) recently. And after Upgrade found out that ubuntugis-unstable
did not support wily, yet. At least "wily" did not appear on the supported versions on this side:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntugis-unstable.
This was pretty frustrating and luckily some days later, wily was included. Otherwise I might have fallen
back to standard packages of Ubuntu for GRASS or a messy system of unsupported packages.
This as comment in terms of ideal speed and frequencies of releases.
