Hi,
I'm working on packaging the gdal extensions for
the 1.7.0-rc1 release.
The current set of files one needs are:
- the pure java jars, which can be handled as
   normal extension
- the windows binary libraries, a zip file, 2.5MB
- the linux binary libraries, a zip file, 2.9MB
- the GDAL_DATA directory contents, a zip file,
   200KB file

A quick way could be to just throw the binaries into
the GeoServer svn under release, so that they are
packaged along with the gdal plugin.
Upside:
- easy, just one download for the user
- no need to think of extra uploads to sourceforge
Downside:
- extra 6MB in svn
- I hear the binaries are going to change much slower than
   the jars

As an alternative, we could attach the binaries
to a confluence page, and have instructions to download
them into a readme file to be shipped along with
the pure java jars.

I'm lending towards the second option. Opinions?
Cheers
Andrea
