Hoy vamos a comentar una página web y una buena iniciativa

Se trata sobre GIS, sistema de información geográfica, pero en este caso pensado para ubuntu. Espero que os guste aunque está todo en inglés y copiado de la página web que a continuación os comento. Que disfruteis:

-----------------------

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGIS

Your Ubuntu is ready for daily, professional GIS work. Getting started it's just a matter of minutes. You can easily install on your machine each of the GIS applications listed below (in brackets the package name), through the Synaptic Package Manager or typing sudo apt-get install program-name from the command line, just like any other package.

You can find an unofficial repository with updated GRASS 6.2 packages adding to your sources the following line:

deb http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu edgy multiverse

Les-ejk UbuntuGIS repository

To use this repository, add line

deb http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu gutsy multiverse
deb-src http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu gutsy multiverse

deb http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu feisty multiverse
deb-src http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu feisty multiverse

to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. This can be done easily using

sudo echo "deb http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu/ gutsy multiverse" >>/etc/apt/sources.list

The word "gutsy" stays for your Ubuntu version ("gutsy" for 7.10, "feisty" 7.4 and so on). You can check code names for more detail.

Do NOT forget to make also universe and multiverse repositories available:

# Universe and multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
 edgy universe multiverse

Download my gpg key to your apt sources:

wget -q http://les-ejk.cz/pgp/jachym_cepicky-gpg.pub -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Now you can run
```
sudo apt-get update
 
```
Then you can install e.g. GRASS GIS 6.2.1 using command
```
sudo apt-get install grass
 
```
If you want source package of GRASS GIS
```
sudo apt-get source grass
 
```

Packages description

This packages were compiled using debian configuration files from debian distribution, debian-gis project and sometimes even using configuration files from program itself. Target of this repository is to provide fresh stable versions of GIS programs for Ubuntu (and maybe other Debian-based distributions).

Mostly, there are connection packages between two programs avaliable too, like gdal-grass or qgis-grass links.

Supported platforms

Version	Code name	Repository keyword	i386	amd64
Ubuntu 6.06	Dapper Drake	`dapper`	Yes	No
Ubuntu 6.10	Edgy Eft	`edgy`	Yes	Yes
Ubuntu 7.04	Feisty Fawn	`feisty`	Yes	Yes
Ubuntu 7.10	Gutsy Gibbon	`gutsy`	Yes	No

I would like to add other distros and platforms too in the future. However - it is not possible for one man to do it in long terms. So - if you can, download the sources, recompile for your platform and send the packages to me.

List of avaliable packages

This packages are not available for all Ubuntu versions. It is just list of the current actual versions for current Ubuntu version, which are available at Les-ejk.
