Re: [DebianGIS] libgdal renaming
Lets clarify and visualize the process...
1. We patch our own gdal 1.3.1 sources and rename the actual library to include the version number
2. upload packages to debian
3. recompile all realted software once only (mapserver, qgis etc)
(*** will we need to patch these sources also to find the right gdal library? **)
4. A new gdal 1.3.2 comes out
5. we patch the gdal sources and name the new library 1.3.2
6. upload to debian
7. mapserver and qgis will continue to run as is. They can upgrade to new gdal at their leisure because old gdal library 1.3.1 will still be in the debian repository.
Does any one see any problems with the process? If we would need to also patch mapserver and qgis sources inorder to use libgdal1.3.1.so instead of libgdal1.so then I dont think this is a good way to do it.

That was implicit, I think. Anyway, better specify explicitly,
because that will cause patching autotools scripts for every
application involved :)
