Bug#1035336: release-notes: libgdal-perl dropped in Bookworm
Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
The ubiquitous geospatial GDAL library dropped the XS-based Perl binding, almost one
year ago. As a consequence the Perl binding is not more directly supported at
upstream level and developers/users that need a Perl support for GDAL must
migrate to the FFI interface provided by Geo::GDAL::FFI package, available on
CPAN. As a direct consequence, Bookworm is missing a Perl binding for GDAL
(libgdal-perl in Bullseye and previous Debian releases).
A wiki page is available at https://wiki.debian.org/BookwormGdalPerl to help
users to start migration to the new interface.
