JOSM shows update link

Launch JOSM on Live10_a2

notice that the opening screen asks the user to update the software

The ​StartupPage always shows that for outdated JOSM versions. Updating to the latest tested snapshot resolves that, but that doesn't last long because of the monthly release cycle of tested snapshots.

+1 to stay on the current version and update in later releases of the Live.

The last JOSM tested snapshot (SVN 10526) using Java 7 has been released today, see:

The Debian packages have been updated and uploaded to unstable. Those releases have also been backported to Ubuntu xenial for OSGeo-Live in their respective branches of the git repositories:

• ​https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/jmapviewer.git/log/?h=osgeo/10.0
• ​https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/josm.git/log/?h=osgeo/10.0
• ​https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/josm-plugins.git/log/?h=osgeo/10.0
• ​https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/openstreetmap-map-icons.git/log/?h=osgeo/10.0

The backports for xenial can be copied from my OSGeo-Live staging PPA:

​https://launchpad.net/~sebastic/+archive/ubuntu/osgeolive/+packages

JOSM doesn't use any dependencies that have been updated for xenial in the OSGeo-Live nightly PPA, but the nightly PPA has been enabled in the build environments (cowbuilder & Launchpad) for correctness.

Thanks Bas,

I copied the new packages to nightly ppa, so they will appear in the next build
