#187: Add to gdal 1.7 support for ECW ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: aperi2007 | Owner: osgeo4w-...@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: minor | Component: Package Version: | Resolution: wontfix Keywords: | ------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Comment(by pcav): One good reason to switch to gdal 1.7 is the support for RasterLite. Another is the bugfix with virtual raster that allows the removal of overlapping NULL values. I'm sure there are more good reasons (after all, FrankW and other have not worked in vain for a new GDAL version, right?). More generally, I think we should upgrade wen possible, to profit from the many improvements. AFAICT, we are now trapped in a choice: either using gdal 1.6 with ECW support, but with the limitations above, or move to 1.7, and drop ECW support (until the licence issues are clarified/solved). A third, more complicated way would be to have the two version in parallel. I agree: I also feel lucky having to deal with proprietary formats only rarely. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/187#comment:6> OSGeo4W <http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w> OSGeo4W is the Windows installer for the OSGeo stack.
