[Gvsig_english] gvsig in ubuntu

[Francisco José Peñarrubia]

Hola Miguel.

I don't know how long it would take, but I offer myself to study it. It 
can be difficult or not. The problem is to find the geotools code that 
we are using. I remember that when we added it, the only class used was 
Parameters, so it could be very easy to change it. But in new versions 
of Geotools, they use also a class named Range => 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-746

Also, we should change the installer in order to don't install JAI, for 
example. So, my guess is about 1-2 days for code dependencies and 1 day 
for the installer (someone who knows about the installer, not me). If it 
can't be done in 2 days, at least we will know the reasons why it is so 
difficult.

Saludos! ;-)

Fran.
