Description
Hi, trying to understand why the packaged versions of both libspatialite2 and spatialite-bin from the UbuntuGIS PPA do not support AsKml() (introduced in 2.4.0-RC4) I noticed that the packaged version actually is 2.4.0-RC3.
This can be easily spotted by looking at the timestamp of the .orig.tar.gz archive (2010-08-15): https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable/+files/spatialite_2.4.0%7Erc4-2%7Enatty1.tar.gz while 2.4.0-RC4 was released on 2010-11-14.
Actually, the most recent "Lucid" package dates from 2010-08-31 so it would be impossible for it to be 2.4.0-RC4. This is a bug that I found quite difficult to spot.

Alan, I'm currently using Natty, so it should be fine.
For my purpose I don't need to have GDAL linked against the new version, so it can wait.
I will test my GeoDjango app against the new version as soon as it's built, and will give feedback here. Also, it might be useful to ask for testing on the spatialite-users mailing list.
Thanks a lot for your work!

It works! GeoDjango can now output KML with the Spatialite backend!
(tomorrow I'll send a patch to Django). Thanks a lot.

steko, I'm currently working on this package. I've never used spatialite. Could you test the new package for me? In what distribution should I upload it, natty? Can you test the package using only the spatialite package or you need gdal compiled against it?
