[gdal-dev] INST_DATA and 1.5.2

[Frank Warmerdam]

Folks,

I would like to bring everyone's attention to an unfortunate problem in
GDAL 1.5.0.  It seems an upgrade in the version of autoconf used to generate
the configure script has resulted in the GDAL data files getting installed
(by default) in $prefix/share instead of $prefix/share/gdal.

I have corrected this now in svn trunk and 1.5 branch.

   http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2382

Also, I am interested in issuing a 1.5.2 GDAL release this week or early
next.  I would like to prepare a release candidate tomorrow.  Is anyone aware
of critical fixes that should be done before a 1.5.2 release?

Best regards,
--
