PSC Vote: Drop PostGIS 3.0

[Regina Obe]

Yes we have a lot of stuff to release even for  3.0

 

https://gitea.osgeo.org/postgis/postgis/src/branch/stable-3.0/NEWS

 

So I’d do a final release of all of those we EOL and mark them as EOL.

 

I’d feel comfortable going as far back as 3.3 but I wouldn’t want to EOL 3.4.

 

Paul it says in 3.4, you put in support for PG19?  So I presume the notes are wrong that 3.4 actually supports at very least 12-18 instead of 12-17

+1 from Darafei to drop 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4. (feel free to reuse this vote in future if we drop not all of them this time). 

 

Do we have something to release in those branches now?

Does this let us clean up anything else (support for EOL Postgres 12-13 or old GEOS), or is it mostly to reduce the backporting effort for fixes?

 

It's less about backporting efforts and more to control the expectation if bugs are going to get fixed in this iteration.

For Postgres and GEOS there is usually a separate vote, when someone decides to double-check what is bundled nowadays in popular distros (Ubu/Deb/RH) and what's become obsolete to lift up the horizon.
