Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

sfcgal support was added upstream in https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/2254
and enabled by default in the debian package in 2.2. Previously, we only had
access to geos, which is small, selfcontained and lean.

unfortunately, the dependencies brought by sfcgal support are huge, via
libopenscenegraph it pulls lots of x11 bits, ffmpeg, qt..

I dont know if the problem should be reported against openscenegraph package or
sfcgal or postgis, but as an end user when i need to install liblwgeom/postgis
for basic postgis usage on a server, it saddens me to see all those
dependencies pulled.

Would it be possible to subpackage/split those dependencies so that one is not
forced to install all the kitchensink for basic postgis support ?

This issue has been fixed in SFCGAL upstream where the OSG dependencies were moved to a separate library, see:

 https://github.com/Oslandia/SFCGAL/issues/136

These changes were first included in sfcgal (1.3.1-1~exp1) in experimental and later in sfcgal (1.3.1-1) in unstable.

For stable users sfcgal (1.3.1-2~bpo9+1) is available in stretch-backports.

In the future please check if issues have already been fixed.

Kind Regards,

Bas
