Trip report from updating pkgsrc:

  - It works.  After rebuilding everything (there's a documented ABI
    break), opening a qgis project with gpkg and vector data in postgis
    worked fine.

  - I did not run autotest.  (I know I should.)

  - The const stuff recently mentioned broke merkaator, and is being
    fixed upstream:
       https://github.com/openstreetmap/merkaartor/issues/314
    But I think that was it for problems.

  - I expected the wheel name to have beta1.  But I ended up with:

      /usr/pkg/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gdal-3.12.0.dist-info/METADATA
      /usr/pkg/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gdal-3.12.0.dist-info/RECORD
      /usr/pkg/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gdal-3.12.0.dist-info/WHEEL
      /usr/pkg/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gdal-3.12.0.dist-info/entry_points.txt
      /usr/pkg/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gdal-3.12.0.dist-info/top_level.txt

    This was easy to deal with for testing, and it's possible it's an
    issue on my end.  I am curious if others see this.
