Even,
Sorry for looking at this so late but I think the Perl version should be
1.901 because Perl versions are floating point numbers and a newer
version needs to have a bigger number. This change should not affect
building and using the Perl bindings.
Hum, currently there are 2 version numbers :
our $VERSION = '1.10';
our $GDAL_VERSION = '1.10.0';
Do you mean only to change the $VERSION one ? I see that for GDAL 1.9.2, it
was our $VERSION = '1.92'; so if VERSION must be greater, perhaps this :
our $VERSION = '1.991100';
our $GDAL_VERSION = '1.10.0';
You're right. There may eventually be GDAL 1.9.9 (hopefully not
1.9.10...), thus 1.991 would be ok.
The GDAL_VERSION is to record the GDAL from which the Perl module is
from. It is to support the - maybe unlikely - scenario that the Perl
module is built against a GDAL already installed in the system.
In gdal_perl.i there is a note about a need to match the three first
numbers of the module version and the GDAL version but I don't remember
why it is there, probably it can be removed.
I'm not sure of the implication of this comment indeed, so I'd be more
confortable if you could experiment and commit the right fix (and remove/ammend
the comment if it doesn't apply)
I'll do that.
GDAL 1.11 should then have Perl module version number 1.9011.
Hopefully, the next major version will be 2.0
Then the version number of Perl module should be 2.000, 2.001, 2.002 etc.
Ari
