Dear Release Team, To move away from the deprecated spatialite_init() method that is causing issues since the proj 4.9.1 transition (#785091) we need to get spatialite 4.3.0 out of experimental. The spatialite transition is closely related to the gdal 1.11 transition (#756867). GDAL 1.11 adds support for the spatialite_init_ex() method, and will use it for SpatiaLite >= 4.1.2. Because the gdal transition is currently blocked by mapnik 3, we may be able to do the spatialite transition first. It has a much more limited scope. All reverse dependencies built successfully with spatialite 4.3.0 in my last round of rebuilds, the summary is included below. spatialite-tools (4.1.1-5) won't need a rebuild, because 4.3.0-1 will be uploaded instead. spatialite-gui (2.0.0~devel2-1) is intended to accompany spatialite 4.3.0, but it requires librasterlite2 which hasn't passed the NEW queue yet. We can stick to 1.7.1-6 in unstable in case librasterlite2 remains unavailable. Transition: spatialite libspatialite5 (4.1.1-10) -> libspatialite7 (4.3.0-1) The status of the most recent rebuilds is as follows. gdal (1.10.1+dfsg-9 / 1.11.2+dfsg-1~exp4) OK / OK librasterlite (1.1g-5) OK librasterlite2 (1.0.0~rc0+devel-1~exp1) OK pyspatialite (3.0.1-7) OK spatialite-tools (4.1.1-5 / 4.3.0-1~exp1) OK / OK merkaartor (0.18.1-3) OK osmcoastline (2.0.1-2) OK qgis (2.8.2+dfsg-2) OK spatialite-gui (1.7.1-6 / 2.0.0~devel2-1~exp1) OK / OK Kind Regards, Bas _______________________________________________ Pkg-grass-devel mailing list Pkg-grass-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-grass-devel
