Hi -
two thoughts:
* GDAL users certainly outnumber OTB users, both humans and applications, so a custom patch to GDAL .deb to support OTB does not sound good
* However, I a suspicious that the GDAL .deb has so much trouble with external TIFF.. maybe there is a flaw in the way they are packaging GDAL..
I am not at all ready to try to change the GDAL package, but I am one of the people doing maintenance on the OSGeo-Live install scripts.. Thanks for bringing this issue up early.. OTB is a great addition to the LiveDVD and we *do* want to find a resolution - IMO
best regards from Berkeley, California

One important point for OTB on OSGeoLive :
We hit a wall with the gdal 1.8 package provided in
ubuntugis-unstable repository : it breaks TIFF support for
applications linking to both gdal and tiff, which is the case for
OTB, making the OTB packages pretty much useless.
This issue has been discussed on gdal-dev ML.
The debian packager of gdal is working on a solution to this known
problem, but it is not yet out.
The solution we chose for the OTB debian package is to patch the
gdal source package, and provide a patched binary package on the
orfeotoolbox-nightly PPA (here : https://launchpad.net/~otb/+archive/orfeotoolbox-nightly).
For those interested, the patch is here :
http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB-DevUtils/file/tip/Packaging/ubuntu/gdal/do_not_disable_GTIFF_for_otb
It is harmless : it's only aim is to recover the behavior of gdal
< 1.8, where the TIFF driver was still registered, even in case
of conflicts with the gdal internal Tiff version.
When the release will be out in a few days, we will copy this binary
over to the orfeotoolbox-stable-ubuntugis PPA, which is used during
the OSGeo Live installation procedure.
In particular, it will spread out as the default gdal on the OSGeo
Live CD.
I don't like it a lot, but we don't have a better solution coming to
mind.
Meanwhile, I'm confident about the fact that the patch has no
functionnal impact on gdal.
What is your opinion ?

system in a broken state...
5.0a2 quick build log review:
everyone:
${CURLY} brackets do nothing to protect the command line
from
spaces and special chars within variables. Use "double
quotes"
for that.
geoserver:
FIXME: 'export FOO=bar' is a Bashism and will not work with
Ubuntu's #!/bin/sh (which is dash)
geomajas:
GeoMajas FIXME: Do not use 777 if at all possible.
geonetwork:
any way to make your 250mb package smaller?
deegree, openjump, maptiler:
FIXME: don't use wget for local files, just copy from local
svn checkout: cp ../app-conf/$FILE $DEST
gvSIG:
> mv: cannot stat `gvSIG19_new_features.tar.gz': No such
file or directory
etc.
osm:
temporary DNS trouble, now fixed?
Static copy of Denver.osm.bz2 now stashed on OSGeo download
server, note
many times bigger than Barcelona, which may make the PostGIS
DB
huge?
Sahaha:
a number of errors, e.g.:
> DataError: value too long for type character
varying(64)
> OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'applications/eden/compiled'
Ushahidi:
> ... Ushahidi already downloaded
> tar: A lone zero block at 17095
(probably want to do a timestamp check with the wget, but -N
and -O are
mutually exclusive)
> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user
'root'@'localhost'
there is no root password. try operating as another user
name.

geopublisher, atlasstyler:
> E: Package 'geopublishing-doc' has no installation
candidate
mapfish:
> Download error: [Errno -2] Name or service not known --
Some packages may not be found!

script is very verbose, making it hard to pick out real
error
messages.
mapguide:
.debs need to be updated for Ubuntu 11.04, ie to not depend
on odbcinst1debian1
Uses a disproportionate amount of disc space (>375mb).
please
find ways to slim it down.
[after this all other deb installs are broken for the rest
of the ISO build..]
ossim:
wants libgdal1-1.7.0, but only 1.6.0 and 1.8.0 are
available.
-> rebuild for natty
WARNING: wget -N timestamping does nothing in combination
with -O.
52nSOS:
please shut off pgsql verbose mode & fix errors, if
possible.
otb:
fails-- no packages for ubuntu/natty found in PPA.
[after this even less of the apt system works...]
disc space:
can we safely uninstall linux-headers-2.6.38-8? (81.5mb)
+ linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic (10mb)
(is building the proprietary nvidia driver a critical need?)
