[postgis-devel] Raster support in 2.0.0

[Paragon Corporation]

Devrim,
 
I suppose its not possible to compile have your own version gdal for
postgres?  For windows I have no dependencies because I left out all the
extensions so I just have one dll with barebones tiff etc whatever drivers
are in the source of gdal..  So just have the ones built in gdal.

Would it be possible to package a gdal-minimal package which is compiled
with minimal support and thus would require many fewer dependencies? And
then PostGIS would just require a package which provides GDAL-API, provided
by either of gdal or gdal-minimal?

Of course the super-duper awesome solution would be for gdal to resolve it's
dependencies at run-time (like apache modules) but I don't even really
understand what it would take to do that and I doubt it is going to happen.

I must have missed the vote where we decided to make raster a requirement...
that said, I wouldn't want it to NOT be in the redhat packaged version,
simply because gdal had too many pre-reqs.

Pff.. That raises a great barrier for PostGIS 2.0 packaging... :( Let's

see what I can do.
