May I install GRASS using APT-GET (Conectiva Linux or Debian Linux) ?

Background:
apt-get is an intelligent frontend to dpkg,
the Debian GNU/Linux packaging software.
apt-get can download or use packages from different sources.
You could only use apt-get if somebody has made Debian packages
for grass. To my knowledge there is an old version of Grass (5.0.0pre4-1)
packaged in the official Debian repositories.
I'm not aware of newer builds wether officially or inofficially.
5.0.0pre4-1 is rather old, so I would not really recommend trying it.
Short answer: No.
If you are looking for prebuild packages which run on Debian,
one options is to download the prebuild binaries or use
the RPMs of the FreeGIS CDs which are tested on Debian and
can be properly with the packaging system using alien.

I have a debian package of the grass 5.0.1
Add the lines:
deb http://www.talha-mar.com.br/linux/debian ./
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
in the sources.list file
and
# apt-get update
# apt-get install grass
Sandro.

Actually I am using exactly this package from testing (recompiled on
woody with postgresql support switched on; it is 4.99+5.0.0pre4 to be
exact) and it seems to work more or less OK (patch and diff file are
available on http://www.ceplovi.cz/matej/progs/debian).
Are there any major bugs which I should be afraid of?
However, certainly if anybody creates last stable grass for woody,
I would be very happy to upgrade.

I believe there are some, check the Changelogs for the
up to the curren tGRASS release.

The FreeGIS CD RPMs work on woody.
Thank you very much for posting the compiled binary of GRASS
5.0.2 for Cygwin/Xserver to the grass mirror sites (I
downloaded from http://grass.ibiblio.org)
The additional functionality, especially d.vect.area and
v.to.pg, are a great help.
Thanks very much.

There doesn't seem to be anything which should make a problems for me
(working with vector files and psql for presentation of data).

Cool -- thanks. I will try it when I will finish the current project.
