[postgis-users] Antipodal issues in upgrade

[Paul Ramsey]

No, there's nothing in 1.5 to find anti-podal edges. I'm willing to
guess though that yours involve pole-to-pole lines, so you could look
for objects with an ymax-ymin of ~180.
Alternately, is the hgc_bbox column real data, or is it derived from
other data? (ie, there's real lines or polygons elsewhere in the
table?) If so, you could drop the bbox column in 1.5 and regenerate it
in 2.1 after load.
