[gdal-dev] Build GDAL for RedHat 7.9 with python bindings and non-default drivers

[Roman Breitfuss-Schiffer]

Hi Markus!

Thanks for your detailed information!

I was trying to download the RPMs 
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/neteler/GDAL/ on a CentOS 7 
distribution with the given installation instruction (sudo wget -O 
/etc/yum.repos.d/gdal-copr.repo 
https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/neteler/GDAL/repo/epel-7/neteler-GDAL-epel-7.repo) 
but was getting an 404.

I'm pretty new to the packaging & building RPM topic but will continue 
looking into it. Therefore, I think I won't clone your repo for now but 
maybe in the future :)

Best
Roman
