Hi,
We are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo).
As part of EPEL repo, we are getting gdal-1.11.2-1.x86_64.rpm and
gdal-1.11.4-3.el7.x86_64.rpm . Out of these, we are using
gdal-1.11.2
We would like to know if GDAL 1.11.2 has reached EOL..
GDAL-1.11.5 was the last 1. version
I think any fixes for gdal v1 would only go in 1.11.5,
but I believe that is EOL.
If yes, please let us know which is the stable latest release which you
would recommend us to use.
Tricky.
RHEL7 is older than most linux distributors would support (released Nov 2017)
but has several years of life remaining; full support until 31 May 2021
and free maintenance support until June 2024
(paid support for maybe another 4 years after that).
GDAL v2 is still supported, but distributions like Ubuntu 20.04
(which has long term support) currently have GDAL v3.
GDAL v3 uses a newer version of the proj library than v2 did.
Many users will notice this change.
Latest GDAL versions are v2.4.4 and v3.1.2; there isn't really a "stable"
release - if you want bleeding edge you go to the master source, otherwise
use the latest release of v2 or v3 - barring important bug fixes which
merit a 0.0.1 release, a n.m release is current for a year.
If you had asked about RHEL 8 I would have recommended GDAL v3;
for RHEL7 I struggle to choose between v2 and v3.
