Dear PostGIS Community,
Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate message. I tried emailing a few
days ago but I don't know if it went through.
I have been tasked to put together an offline installer for a web app I built
that uses PostgreSQL+PostGIS under the hood. The target OS is RHEL 8. I have
been working with PostGIS on Ubuntu for >10 years but I never had to put
together an offline installer before. sudo apt-get is all I ever needed ;-)
Anyway, I started pulling together all the RPMs I need for RHEL and everything
was been going well up until I starting working on the PostGIS piece. I tried
installing postgis31_13-3.1.4-1.rhel8.x86_64.rpm from here:
[ https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/13/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/ ](
https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/13/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/ )
This particular RPM has dozens of dependencies which in return have their own
dependencies so the install package is turning out to be quite big and a real
pain to put together. Initial RPM error is below.
For my application, I only use PostGIS for spatial queries (e.g.
ST_Intersects), some basic transformations (e.g. ST_Buffer, ST_Union,
ST_Centroid), reprojection to/from 4326<->900913 using ST_Transform, a few
measurement functions (e.g. ST_Distance, ST_Area), and reading/writing WKT and
EWKB (e.g. ST_GeomFromText).
I don't need GDAL for example and the dozens of libs that it needs for
reading/writing data. I don't need Protobuf, Xerces, GeoTiff, HDF, etc. I don't
know if I need need SFCGAL but that library has dependencies on CGAL which in
turn have dependencies on things like QT which I definitely don't need.
So I switched gears and started looking at building my own RPM with my own
build of PostGIS with less dependencies but I'm a little out of my depth.
In short, I was wondering if someone can help me put together a "slim" RPM for
RHEL 8? Or maybe point me to one that exists already?
This is for a commercial customer and I would gladly trade the day or two of my
time hunting down RPMs in exchange for a PostGIS pro that can compile a simple
RPM for me. I would freely share the output of this effort under any open
source license.
Thanks in advance,
Peter
PS. Here's the output of my first install attempt using the PostGIS RPM. I've
cut some of this down since by finding some of the RPMs and I'll keep plugging
away until I got them all...
