   '''A:''' Short answer: none of the above.
   Long answer: this page is meant to give you all the needed information to get your Ubuntu box into a working, professional GIS workstation/server. UbuntuGIS cannot be ''installed'' simply because we do not create separate packages. However, in the future there might be an ubuntu-gis metapackage that results in the installation of all the needed software. 		   '''A:''' An external repository (PPA). UbuntuGIS is a repository that can be added in your sources.list which will provide up to date packages.

   '''A:''' GIS related packages reside in the ''universe'' repositories, and they are built from the Debian sources from time to time, when there's a sync to the current unstable.
 * '''Q:''' When will the packages that are in the DebianGIS repository be available in Ubuntu?
   '''A:''' It depends. See above. Each Ubuntu release includes an update of the ''universe'' repositories.		    '''A:''' Basically, yes. We rebuild/adapt the DebianGIS packages in the different Ubuntu distributions.

UbuntuGIS FAQ

  • Q: Is UbuntuGIS another, separate, distribution? Or a subset of packages that I can install as a whole on my machine? Or an external repository?

    • A: An external repository (PPA). UbuntuGIS is a repository that can be added in your sources.list which will provide up to date packages.

  • Q: Do you just repackage the DebianGIS packages?

    • A: Basically, yes. We rebuild/adapt the DebianGIS packages in the different Ubuntu distributions.

  • Q: Can I install DebianGIS packages on Ubuntu?

    • A: You can try, but it's not recommended. Ubuntu and Debian have source compatibility (e.g. they are built from the same sources), but binary compatibility is not guaranteed to work. Add to this that many packages may have different names due to different compile environments, and you'll see it can be a bit frustrating. However, it might work for you if you manage to tweak the packages to work.
