[OSM-dev] (unofficial) Mapnik 0.7.1. packages for Ubuntu 10.04

[Peter]

I'd expect the osm.xml file in /etc/<package>/
But if you can host these packages for lucid somewhere as .deb, please do so!

I'm working on a Lucid-based Tileserver distribution (not yet
functional) and this would be a huge help for me!
Especially since you already have the .py scripts, osm stylesheet and
world shapefiles included :)

Merry Christmas everyone!
