restore referenced qgis-dev package

[jef]

currently qgis-dev is uninstallable. The setup.ini references a non-existing file.

Please restore the latest qgis-dev package from ​http://buten.norbit.de/~jef/qgis-dev-1.5.0-145.tar.bz2 qgis-dev-1.5.0-145 (original upload) to release/qgis/qgis-dev.

I also see that setup.ini still lists gdal16 as dependency. Although that matches setup.hint, I thought I already changed it to reference gdal17.

Please also consider updating it from ​http://buten.norbit.de/~jef/setup.hint setup.hint and rebuilding setup.ini.

And finally we're going to branch the 1.5 release this weekend and call for packages. Is there an (rough) ETA when upload.osgeo.org will be available again?

I have put the qgis-dev-1.5.0-145 package in place.

I have replaced the setup.hint.

I have manually updated setup.ini and removed setup.ini.bz2. I am afraid to rerun the generation scripts on this different system. Things might be completely broken.

I see we have 1GB of qgis-dev packages - it would be nice to prune the periodically.

It is unclear when normal download and upload operations will be working again.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks again.

Well, I had a cron job that used to take care of that. Not sure why that stopped. Maybe I disabled it at some point and forgot to reenable it.

Anything I can do to help?
