[DebianGIS-dev] gdal C++ transition plans?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Hi

I am one of the maintainers of mapserver, one of the packages using
the gdal package.  As you can see from
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~mfurr/gxx/html/m/a/mapserver-bin.html>,
We need to wait for a new version of gdal before a new version
mapserver can be uploaded into unstable.  I got a new version waiting
to be uploaded, fixing all the reported bugs against mapserver, which
make me very interested in the status for gdal. :)

When do you plan to upload a new version of gdal into unstable, to get
it rebuilt with the c++ ABI?  Do you want an NMU instead?  If you
don't reply before friday, I'll start preparing a delayed NMU to fix
the gdal package.

I am aware that gdal depend on qt and odbs, and thus need to wait for
a new version of those to make it into unstable.
