<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The newest GDAL in the official RHEL repo is 3.4.3, released 2022-04-22. There used to be GDAL 3.7 available from the PostgreSQL repo
<a href="https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages/">https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages/</a> and we have been using that, but the version was removed recently. Some other user was unhappy as well and created a bug

“Why did you install GDAL 3.7? The packages are in the repo, but they were never required by any released GIS suite. I even removed them from git a couple of weeks ago:<br>
