Have a look to the main bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=441797 I have a couple of ideas about that: 1. it's not a true issue for etch->lenny because postgres versions are different and users can easily maintain the old version and migrate by hard upgrade script, as documented in the README file. So this is not a RC bug. 2. 1.3.1 is not more present in the archive, so that does not break anything currently. 3. We need to prepare a migration framework that uses the trick I shown in the report. Thanks strk for a past discussion about that :-) That should allow a more soft migration in some cases, but anyway Postgis REQUIRES running soft/hard upgrades scripts for all its databases, and that is a MUST and users are warned about that in README.Debian since ages. There's not a silver bullet. On this basis I would reduce the severity of those bugs to important. > -------- Messaggio Originale -------- > Oggetto: [DebianGIS-dev] postgis REMOVED from testing > Data: Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:39:22 -0600 > Da: Debian testing watch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > FYI: The status of the postgis source package > in Debian's testing distribution has changed. > > Previous version: 1.3.3-1 > Current version: (not in testing) > Hint: (no removal hint found) > -- Francesco P.
