I would like to get GDAL 1.11 ready for jessie, but I'm a bit short on time to fully dedicted my time to it. The recent upload fixes the upstream tarball repacking and was still building on mips when I checked yesterday. That was a prerequisite before we can test the builds of its reverse dependencies. We need to rebuild the reverse dependencies to verify that they still build successfully with GDAL 1.11. I don't expect big issue here, but I do expect some unrelated build failures due to changes in other dependencies. The list of reverse dependencies from the previous gdal transition can be used as a starting point: https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/gdal.html (enable the "good" checkbox to see all packages) Some new reverse dependencies may have been accumulated since then. but I have not yet checked which packages these are. I have local ben clone to get the list of affected packages, but I'm not sure how to check for Good and Bad packages. http://linuxminded.nl/tmp/pkg-grass-transitions/html/libgdal1.html Kind Regards, Bas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
