<p>Hi Jukka,</p>
<p>this is a unfortunate move. You may have to create a custom
package, possibly inspired from src.rpm from recent Fedora
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdal">https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdal</a>). I see Markus Neteler
did one for GDAL 3.0.4 for RHEL 7 in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/neteler/GDAL/">https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/neteler/GDAL/</a></p>
<p>Or I assume that you may install it also from conda-forge. I
believe their Linux binaries should run on RHEL 8.</p>
<p>Actually, quickly checking with AlmaLinux 8, a free clone of RHEL
8:<br>
</p>
<p># docker run --rm -it almalinux:8</p>
<p># dnf install wget<br>
# wget
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh">https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh</a><br>
# sh Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh # answer to default
questions with [Enter]<br>
# source /root/miniconda3/bin/activate <br>
# conda install -c conda-forge gdal<br>
# gdalinfo
--version
<br>
GDAL 3.8.3, released 2024/01/04 <br>
</p>
<p>Or if you only use command line utilities, use Docker images</p>
<p>PS: IT policies are weird. It is paradoxical to trust more an
outside source for binaries rather than building your own from
source...<br>
</p>
<p>Even<br>
