Thanks Activity Workshop for all your help.
I agree with Sebastiaan that we should be updating to the latest stable
version of gpsprune if we can.
One of the criteria we used to identifying projects to retire from
OSGeo-Live was finding projects which are not changing version on
OSGeo-Live. (This picked out gpsprune).
So hopefully between you and Sebastian you should be able to work out
how to update to the latest version? (And then tweak the quickstart and
project overview accordingly).
Warm regards, and thanks for your help,
Cameron

Shouldn't gpsprune be upgraded to 18.6 and the overview & quickstart
updated to reflect the latest version?
Well yes, you're right, it would be ideal if we had v18.6. But currently my
number 1 priority is to try to prevent GpsPrune being removed from OSGeo-Live,
and as I understand it the docs need to be reviewed this week.
The easiest way to ensure that GpsPrune gets installed (correct me if I'm wrong)
is to take the version from the Ubuntu repositories. I expect that a simple
apt-get will be much easier to manage than trying to set up links to backports
or private ppas or whatever else might be involved to get 18.6. So that is why
I recommended to take the one from the repositories, and I've only just learned
this week that this will be 18.3.
Rebuilding the latest gpsprune package from Debian for OSGeo-Live is
quite trivial, see for example the git-buildpackage workflow documented
in the Debian GIS policy:
https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html#git-backports
Or just rebuild the source package downloaded via tracker.debian.org
with pdebuild in a cowbuilder chroot with the OSGeo-Live nightly PPA
enabled.
Updating the package now requires the docs to be reviewed again for
18.6. If the package was updated first the docs needed to be updated
only once.
Kind Regards,
Bas
