Re: GDAL 1.8 and QGIS
Dear Jürgen,
Thank you for your answer.
I started by installing GDAL 1.8 from experimental, but now I'm a little
bit confused about GDAL. What exactly is the difference between
'gdal-bin' and 'libgdal1-1.X.0' (where X can be 6, 7, or 8)?
I noticed I could install all three versions of libgdal1 together,
without any dependency trouble, but I have to choose the version of
gdal-bin. Am I right to think that only the latter (gdal-bin) defines
the version of GDAL used by the system? In other words, the programs
shipped with gdal-bin uses the libgdal1 corresponding to the gdal-bin
version and do not care about other versions.
Or did I miss something? The package 'qgis' depends on libgdal1-1.7.0
but does not care about gdal-bin, which means that I can have QGIS
installed with gdal-bin version 1.8 (from experimental), but QGIS not
using gdal 1.8...
Thanks for any explanation.
Best,
Mathieu.

GDAL 1.8 is available in Debian official repository for experimental. Is
it a good solution to use it, or better to install it from source too?
I'd install GDAL 1.8 from experimental, then build the package from source and
install the package.
