My name is Giuseppe Dia and I'm an Eng student at Palermo.
I did an unofficial Grass 5.0.2 debian package for Woody. Actually it's based on Federico de Gregorio testing package, as I basically gave just an uupdate. But there are some other fixes I'd like to share, like a patch for a compilation error in the PNGdriver part, which now compiles and runs fine.
It was compiled and tweaked on a Debian stable, so I guess it could be useful to someone. At the present moment, as I stated in the NVIZ mailing list, everything runs fine, except Nviz who's still hangs at rendering spearfish' aspect (maybe it doesn't hang, it's just me that I can't stand waiting 
). Now I've got still to undestand if it's my fault or a Nviz bug. Otherwise with other maps Nviz runs just fine.
I actually didn't change nothing in Nviz code, after some fussing around with tcl.8.2, I just skipped to 8.3 and solved my problems. (with 8.2 and a small change in source nviz 'd compile just fine, but gave a "child killed" at run time...)
Postgres support is disabled but it may enabled easily. The .deb package is without postgres . If postgres support was fixed in 5.0.2 I can easily repackage it with postgres support (just tell me) or someone else can (there are the deb-sources)

it's my personal repository. There you can find binary and source packages. Please note that the source tar.gz is not the same of the official 5.0.2 as I made some fixes.
It may be offline now and then, so I suggest you should run a local copy if you like it. It also should be aptgettable:
deb http://ezralabs.esaurito.net/repository/debian/grass/ ./
deb-src http://ezralabs.esaurito.net/repository/debian/grass/ ./
Here there's the small fix I made to fix PNGdriver which didn't compile at once:

And finally the lintian report for the .deb

If someone with Woody want to try the package, I'd be very happy. Please report problems and suggestions here, or write me at giusedia at libero.it.
I'd like to thank Fog for the marvellous work he did, without this package could probably not exist.
Please also note (the packages) are provided "AS IS" and I'm not responsible if you use them and burn down your school or other nasty things.
Contact me at once for any problems.
Have fun Giuseppe Dia

No.
The code already looks like the patched version, so the above patch
won't apply. It's possible that the author reversed the patch; if that
is the case, the patch is bogus.

I am very pleased to read that there is a debian package of the
actual grass version now.
Are you in contact with Frederico to get the new debian package into
the official debian distribution? In my opinion it would be of great
value to replace grass5.0pre4 and additionally it would probably
save Frederico some work to base on your package instead of building
a new update package by himself.
it's my personal repository. There you can find binary and source
packages. Please note that the source tar.gz is not the same of
the
official 5.0.2 as I made some fixes.
Perhaps you should copy the official source tar.gz to
grass_5.0.2.orig.tar.gz before building the debian package. A file
named grass_5.0.2-<release>.diff.gz will then automatically created.
So it would be easier to track down your changes.
Cheers and thanks again for your effort to update the package.
Silke
