Hi, Thanks Brian for your reply.
I asked Christoph Berg (maintainer for Postgres) and you have his reply hereunder.
Following his advise, I found a ppa for precise which hs gdal 1.10, postgis 2.1 and postgres 9.3! https://launchpad.net/~lwarx/+archive/postgis-pg93-bp <https://launchpad.net/%7Elwarx/+archive/postgis-pg93-bp>
Seems to solve the problem. Cheers, Denis From Christop: Hi Denis, the osgeo people have asked the same question last week. The story is as follows: In wheezy, sid, and trusty (Ubuntu 14.04), we are using the gdal that comes with that distribution, while in precise (Ubuntu 12.04) we are using a backport of the wheezy version (which was also the sid version at the time we built that package). I've tried to push a newer gdal package into precise, but that fails horribly because precise doesn't have dh-python, and if you try to produce a backport of that as well, the python3 version there is too old. An alternative would be to rip out the python3 parts of gdal to make it build in precise, but that would be a regression compared to what we have there now. I have pretty much no clue about gdal, so it won't be me to dig into this. One way that could work was to look into what the osgeo people have done to get postgis working. I was under the impression that the PPA for this washttps://launchpad.net/~johanvdw/+archive/osgeolive , but that doesn't seem to contain gdal, so they seem to have taken some other route (probably just recompiling postgis against whatever gdal they ship). If you have a suggestion for how to resolve this, please let us know. Christoph On 22. 01. 14 21:55, [email protected] wrote:
Hi All -- the UbuntuGIS, UbuntuGIS-untable, and pgdg apt packagers are actively working on harmonizing the repositories in time for Ubuntu "Trusty" 14.04. Meanwhile, the short story is, PGDG apt repository for Debian/Ubuntu PostGIS 2.1 is based on GDAL 1.9, while UbuntuGIS-unstable and related repos are based on GDAL 1.10 with updated drivers. Thanks for your patience while this gets updated.. You can express you interest in GDAL 1.10 to the Postgres project, too! The communities are different so it takes some time for the prioritization to come through.. best regards from Berkeley -- Brian M Hamlin OSGeo California Chapter blog.light42.com _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
