<p>ok, I missed this was on the pypi package.</p>
<p>I've tried to make a patch over 3.2.2. For now, I've uploaded it
only to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://test.pypi.org/project/GDAL/3.2.2.1/">https://test.pypi.org/project/GDAL/3.2.2.1/</a> . Can you
test that and confirm that works properly ? If so, I'll push it to
pypi official.</p>
<p>I've tracked the changes in a patch/3.2.2.1 branch, sitting for
now in my fork:<br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/compare/v3.2.2..rouault:patch/3.2.2.1?expand=1">https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/compare/v3.2.2..rouault:patch/3.2.2.1?expand=1</a></p>
<p>I'll push that to OSGeo/gdal as well and tag once confirmed
things work fine<br>
</p>
<p>Hoping I'm not going into troubles doing this stuff outside of
our usual release processes...</p>

response or misrepresented the original issue. The patch

the GDAL team is taking care of source distributions on <a

moz-do-not-send="true"><span style="color:rgb(220,161,13)">https://pypi.org/project/GDAL/</span></a>.
I looked into released pypi versions and if I am not
mistaken there is no patch release for v3.2.2 with fix for
setuptools compatibility issue.</p>

<p
style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Helvetica

*python* package of GDAL</i> and push the sdist package to
<a href="http://pypi.org" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true"><span style="color:rgb(220,161,13)">pypi.org</span></a>
(something like 3.2.2.1, as I described in the previous
email) then that would also solve the issue. Because as
python developers, we install *python* packages via
pip/pipenv/poetry and those package managers would pick the
new patch release from <a href="http://pypi.org"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"><span
style="color:rgb(220,161,13)">pypi.org</span></a>. (The
GDAL library component libgdal-dev v3.2.2 will still come
from the debian system package repo and there is no issue
with that).<span> </span></p>

I'm not sure how <br>

<br>
Packages in Debian stable releases only get updates to fix
bugs of <br>
severity important or higher [0]. GDAL patch releases also
contain <br>
changes for lower severity issues, it's not worth the effort
to vet all <br>
those changes. Any changes to packages in stable also risk
introducing <br>
regressions which are highly undesirable in LTS releases
known for their <br>
stability.<br>
<br>
People should be maintaining their own packaging
repositories where they <br>
host packages with changes for their needs that cannot be
easily <br>
upstreamed to the package in the distribution itself.
Scratching your <br>
own itch was a corner stone of Open Source that people are
seemingly <br>
forgetting or never having known about in the first place.<br>
