[postgis-users] PostGIS 1.3.4 RC3 released

[Obe, Regina]

Mark,

My general opinion about this.  No its not worth the effort unless it
takes you 5 minutes and won't break anything and doesn't require further
maintenance :).

I figure most people upgrading are probably going to upgrade GEOS.   I
mean you expect all functions to be available in your install and if
they happen to be running a geos that old, I question whether they would
be running the new GCC.  

Also its annoying to have to say things like hmm by the way you can't
use ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology because you don't have GEOS 3.0+.  Too
much minutia to remember. 

Does the old gcc work fine with old 2....?  If so then scrap fixing it
for new installs -- you want to stick with old technology stick with old
technology across the board period.  If it doesn't then hmm - I would
say lets just say to use 1.3.4 you need to have Geos 3.0.3 or above
installed.

Thanks,
Regina

Yep that looks fine. The hardest one for me to test at the moment is 
GEOS 2.2 since the 2.2 branch doesn't have any of the gcc-4.3 fixes :( 
I think I can hack up something based upon the patches in SVN trunk, but

it would be fairly unmaintainable unless they get added to SVN. I wonder

   if it's worth putting out a 2.2.4 release containing just compilation

fixes?


ATB,

Mark.
