Comment (by hamish):
Hi,
some updates in SVN to concern yourselves with if you are concerned about
PostGIS:
PostGIS 1.4 tarball download & compile has (optionally) been added to
install_postgres.sh. Currently this is switched off.
A few lines in install_postgres.sh were changed outside of the optional
bit so please (re)test, including load_postgis.sh.
It has been deactivated until we can solidly determine if it plays nicely
with the system & all other packages, and if it passes that a decision on
if it should be included at all.
TODO:
- check if the current scripts still work;
- check that your packages can still access their data (now and with it
enabled);
- check that the PostGIS 1.4 install doesn't clobber any of the 1.3
packaged install
* (at least the shp2pgsql binaries need to be renamed?)
- decide if we will ship PostGIS 1.4 or not
comments? test results?
My personal feeling is to play it conservative and stick with the
older packaged version at this point, but then I'm not a PostGIS person so
I'm only cognizant of the risks and not the benefits.
