<br>
We have two blockers that center around the new FlatGeoBuf format.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/5005" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/5005</a> (this one is easily<br>
replicatable)<br>
<br>
<a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/5014" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/5014</a> (this one I can only replicate<br>
with the cowbuilder setup Bas Cowenberg provided)<br>
<br>
both I think are manifestations of the same problem how the header is<br>
derived and what it's doing with numeric and geometry fields.<br>
<br>
I've taken a stab at troubleshooting and fixing, but did not have much luck.<br>
That said, if anyone is willing to help fix that would be great and fix<br>
within a 1 to 2 week time period.<br>
<br>
If not I feel that we really need to take it out of our PostGIS 3.2.0<br>
release (which will be going on to 3.2.0beta2).<br>
<br>
I'd like to release PostGIS 3.2.0beta2 in about a week or so with flatgeobuf<br>
fixed or removed. If removed, we'll push flatgeobuf to PostGIS 3.3.0<br>
cycle.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Regina<br>
