We’ll be using Postgis2.0 from UbuntuGIS, which has packages for a number of recent Ubuntu releases. Since Ubuntu precise has libc6 2.14 and Debian wheezy only 2.13 we fall back on Ubuntu oneiric for packages, which also has libc6 2.13.
However Postgis 2.0 in UbuntuGIS depends on a lot of llibraries which were in squeeze but live in wheezy under a higher version. Therefore we’ll install a lot of packages from Debian squeeze.

It seems that one of the OSGeo4W libraries (GDAL?) is compiled with an incompatible MS compiler version. Christmas holidays are coming…

In QGIS server, it is now possible to selectively exclude layers from WMS publication. These layers will be available only on the desktop and hidden from WMS clients. Similarly, print layouts can be excluded from WMS publication. Of course, these settings are conveniently accessible from the project properties dialog of QGIS (but you need to have a nightly build or a recent compile):
Additionally, attributes per layer can be excluded from WMS or WFS publication in the vector properties dialog:
