OSGeo-Live 10.0 alpha1 ready to test
4 June 2016
After much hard work from the OSGeo-Live build team, we have the first alpha version of OSGeo-Live 10.0, which is now based on the new Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Long Term Support (LTS). Ubuntu 16.04 was released 6 weeks ago. During those 6 weeks, we merged packaging effort from DebianGIS and UbuntuGIS bringing most of the debian packages to Xenial. The result is shared with the OSGeo community through the updated UbuntuGIS repositories (testing and unstable).
We encourage all OSGeo-Live projects to please download alpha1 [1] (mirror [2]), test your project with this new release and make sure it works as expected. Please report back issues to our trac instance [3] or our mailing list live-demo@lists.osgeo.org telling us which application you have tested. We also track this information in our status spreadsheet [4]). We love pro-active projects, so please prepare your code to work on the new LTS and send us a pull request with your installer changes.
Our goal is to reach beta stage by the end of June, since the final 10.0 iso will be released earlier this year (to be ready on time for FOSS4G 2016).
