[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo4W maintenance activities

[Rashad Kanavath]

Hello Anita,

I think osgeo4w needs a better structuring of how packages can be added or
updated based on different compilers and version.

Currently, due to ABI incompatibility upgrades are stuck. For instance
ossim.  This was discussed in
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/473#comment:7

IMHO, it should become a package management tool for Windows rather than a
package installer.
