Re: Merging GRASS upstream packaging with DebianGIS

Hi all,
instead of pushing my work, I have decided to give up.

The initial goal was to have GRASS packaging for upstream daily builds
(using Launchpad) which will be hosted on Alioth (as package
grass-daily) which will be regularly synced with Debian packaging. I
have started with fork of current 'experimental' branch, renamed
package 'grass' to 'grass-daily'.

After spending last night with trying to fine tune 'grass-daily'
package to be able to coexist with stable 'grass' package, I have
realized, that number of changes required to get it working is so
huge, that it will be a problem to keep it in sync with Debian
packaging, which was the initial goal.

Now, I am changing my mind and I think, the best way would be to build
daily packages in separate 'ppa' repository (grass-devel) [1] without
renaming them with '-daily' or '7' sufix. We will loose possibility to
install 'stable', 'daily' and 'grass 6' together, but by my opinion,
it wasn't properly working either now. On the other way, GRASS
upstream could follow and contribute packaging on Alioth without any
major problems.

@Martin, what do you think about it ?

@Sebastiaan, thank you very much for your help.
