Guys,

Well some how a Launchpad PPA needs to stay reasonably close to the
latest CVS so it is more current than 1.9.4 that is currently in the
repository that is totally broken with the loss of Tiger Maps.

Do what you can if you can, otherwise I'll clean the mess up starting in
late December after Fall semester finals are done, and hope to get the
mess cleaned up by late January when Spring semester starts.

If someone can script a daily or weekly update to a PPA that is named
"XASTIR" that would then be picked up by Debian/Ubuntu then most of the
problems would be solved.  I do not have the time or knowledge to do so
at this time.

At 52 years old I _NEED_ to concentrate on my senior semesters at
university and get this Bachelors of Technology degree in Alternative
and Renewable Energy Systems done period.
