> Having a look at the debian package, they use internal tiff and geotiff. Is there any criteria to chose one or the other? libtiff on CentOS 5 is quite old, would it make sense to use the internal one?
This was discussed some time ago:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/el/2010-October/thread.html#120
(see threads with bigtiff)
and Frank Warmerdam explicitly discouraged us to use the internal one:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/el/2010-October/000119.html
The conclusion of this discussion was that we should produce a
libtiff4 package and make sure that it can live along the base
libtiff.
As for epsilon, we need to have this library packaged as an RPM first.
I could not find it, neither in EPEL nor in Fedora.
Both are feasible but require some work (that is, packaging a related
dependency).
I'd be happy to integrate any contributed spec files / SRPM.
Cheers,
Mathieu
