Folks,
Ivan has discovered that GDAL 1.7.0 is producing HFA files that are
corrupt - that is they are only readable with GDAL. Imagine and

versions of ArcGIS fail to read them.

I consider this problem very serious, and the longer that GDAL 1.7.0
is in use the more of these corrupt Imagine files will be produced
and
cause problems for the world.

+1. Except for BigTIFF, the HFA driver is one of the consistent
large file drivers we have. Instead of marking it deprecated, I
think we should retract the release (remove it from
download.osgeo.org) and immediately issue 1.7.1 RC1 today.
+1 on retracting the release
There are enough poorly formatted images in the wild already
Cheers
