[gdal-dev] podofo 1.0.2 ships with Fedora 43, breaks source builds

[Roger Bivand]

The extensive podofo migration guide is at: https://github.com/podofo/podofo/blob/master/API-MIGRATION.md, saying among lots of other things:

"Removed GetRotationRaw() and introduced TryGetRotationRaw() or PdfGraphicsStateWrapper::SetStrokingColorSpace"

Maybe at least for now 3.11.5RC1 and 3.12.0beta1 should block the use of podofo >= 1 in cmake?

For GDAL 3.11.4, 3.11.5RC1 and 3.12.0beta1, source builds fail at the same point:

[ 45%] Building CXX object frmts/pdf/CMakeFiles/gdal_PDF.dir/pdfdataset.cpp.o
/home/rsb/topics/gdal/gdal-3.11.4/frmts/pdf/pdfdataset.cpp: In static member function ‘static PDFDataset* PDFDataset::Open(GDALOpenInfo*)’:
/home/rsb/topics/gdal/gdal-3.11.4/frmts/pdf/pdfdataset.cpp:5160:36: error: ‘class PoDoFo::PdfPage’ has no member named ‘GetRotationRaw’; did you mean ‘GetRotation’?
 5160 |         dfRotation = poPagePodofo->GetRotationRaw();
      |                                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                                    GetRotation

With Fedora 42, the podofo version was 0.10.5, which built and passed autotests.

There may be other package version increment issues on Fedora 43, but this is consistent.
