Re: SpatiaLite transition

If you, like me, want to keep an eye on the builds for the packages in
question, this nice long URLs lists all affected packages:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=freexl,readosm,spatialite,librasterlite,mapnik,libgaiagraphics,spatialite-tools,spatialite-gui,pyspatialite,gdal,merkaartor,osgearth,qgis

FreeXL and ReadOSM are included, but these have been available in unstable
for a while already.

Many thanks for the quick upload.

I've rebuild all packages for unstable using my personal APT repo, so
they're all available on mentors.

I'll request sponsorship in steps when the prerequisites are uploaded.

It will be bit yes, but we've done this dance before during preparation in
experimental.

I'll file the BinNMU requests at the appropriate times.

Thanks again for all your sponsoring efforts. I appreciate it immensely.

Kind Regards,
