[Live-demo] Re: [mapserver-dev] We need some help getting mapserver 6 onto OSGeo-Live

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Alan, Cameron,

I am willing to help out with updating the install script, or rather the
package.
I'd prefer doing this in the debian git repository (in a seperate branch),
so changes would be available for a future debian package as well (hence
debian gis in cc:).
This being said: it's a complicated package (different mapscript bindings),
and since it's a server package quality should be good, so help (even if it
is only reviewing) would certainly be appreciated.

I don't think that updating 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 after the feature freeze should
pose any problems. Certainly not a reason to postpone updating the package.

Johan
