Hi Bruno, +1 on your proposal for postgis. Regarding gdal, I agree that we need to stay to 1.x for a while... Regarding gdal version for Leap: since the proposed development model asks for stable packages, we need to submit gdal 1.x IMO. Best, Angelos On 07/31/2015 09:40 AM, Bruno Friedmann wrote:
2. PostGIS 2 is out for quite a long time. We have postgis and postgis2 packages in our repository. postgis is disabled and all binaries are wiped out for some time now (since we removed RedHat based repositories). Question: should we merge postgis2 to postgis? and drop postgis2 package? I know that Darin want to review it and have it in server:database:postgresql to be able to have it supporting the multi pg version we have there. His project was located here https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:deadpoint:postgresql
I'm in favor of migrating postgis there and make it multi pg version like all other module we have.
6. GDAL made it to Factory but was never released as part of a stable openSUSE release (it would be released in 13.3, so we need to submit it to 42). Also GDAL 2.0 was released some days ago. I am sure that most downstream projects are not ready for the switch. Should we create a gdal2 package or just wait a few months?
I've tried to package it but the perl part is totally unready doesn't respect vendor etc ... There's already number of patches to get python compiling etc. I'm pretty sure, with working with upstream we would have to wait 2.0.1 even if waiting more time to have curve geom supported is a pain
Now about the lifetime announced for Leap, I'm not sure how much time upstream want to maintain 1x branch of gdal. We're just at a cross-road.
My try is here https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:bruno_friedmann:branches:Applic... If anybody outside would like to help (even advise).
