[gdal-dev] Motion: RFC 78: gdal-utils package

[Idan Miara]

Hi Alan,

pip install gdal-utils
Will install also gdal as it is its dependency.

In case we will take the utils out of the gdal sdist - Even tough your
suggestion to add gdal-utils as a dependency to gdal would make `pip
install gdal` to also install both, it makes less sense to me as gdal does
not actually depend on gdal-utils and it might complicate things in other
ways. In that case, IMHO telling people who want to install the utils to
pip install gdal-utils makes more sense...
