Other than not documenting API withdrawals, this seems fine.
* API changes I built this via pkgsrc, and here are the changes in installed files. - 3 withdrawn headers (not apparent in NEWS) - 6 new headers (inferrable as expected from NEWS) - minor version bump, but not major, in libgeos_c (ok) => Checking file-check results for geos-3.14.0beta1 ERROR: ************************************************************ ERROR: The following files are in the PLIST but not in /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg: ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/algorithm/SimplePointInRing.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/precision/PrecisionReducerCoordinateOperation.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/unload.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib/libgeos_c.so.1.19.2 ERROR: ************************************************************ ERROR: The following files are in /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg but not in the PLIST: ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/algorithm/construct/ExactMaxInscribedCircle.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/coverage/CleanCoverage.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/coverage/CoverageCleaner.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/dissolve/DissolveEdgeGraph.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/dissolve/DissolveHalfEdge.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/include/geos/dissolve/LineDissolver.h ERROR: /tmp/work/geography/geos/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib/libgeos_c.so.1.20.0 * odd linking issue After building while 3.13.1 was installed, somehow pkgsrc decided that the package needs to link against libgeos.so.3.13.1. That's probably an issue on our end, but I do not see this with other packages so there may be something unusual going on. * tests After installing, I ran tests [snip] 502/502 Test #502: xml-validate-TestRelatePP .................................. Passed 0.00 sec 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 502 Total Test time (real) = 13.94 sec on NetBSD 10 amd64. * postgis With this, postgis's rc still builds. Tests are no more troubled than with older geos. (buggy postgis tests, nothing real) * qgis With postgis built with this geos running, qgis loads features from a postgis database.
