Re: [DebianGIS] Debian GIS CDD
Hamish and all,
I know, there are many livecds for GIS (and I'm currently supporting one of then), but my idea is to create a official CDD for Debian GIS, with a regular schedule of release (maybe 6 months), and things like that.
For Paulo M.... Well, I don't plan to dump Poseidon Linux, but I trying to contribute to Debian making things more official.
It's a huge amount of work, but it's not impossible. Also, I have contact/support from the main Debian-BR-CDD developer (he also lives 60km from my town).
There is a excellent tutorial for building Debian-CDD, but unfortunately it's only available on Brazilian Portuguese (I have found the pdf somewhere).
Well, I'm nobody... but that's where I can help, if the main supporters of Debian GIS thinks that a CDD version is good idea just tell me.
Cheers,
