[ELGIS] Re: GIS support in EPEL

[Volker Fröhlich]

What I said about the EPEL policy break is correct, but actually happened 10 
months ago.

The actual problem we're seeing here, is the soname bump, breaking dependeny. 
Normally, the soname should only change if the API changes, but GEOS keeps 
their soname in sync with their releases version numbers, triggering 
unnecessary rebuilds like this one.
