osm2pgsql no longer requires GEOS, but OSSIM hasn't switched to the C
API. It has gained support for GEOS 3.6, so we should be able to start
the transition to GEOS 3.6.2 after OSSIM 2.2.0 is in unstable.
Once OSSIM 2.2.0 is in unstable, a new revision of OTB 6.2 needs to be
uploaded as well which contains the upstream patches to support OSSIM 2.2.0.
Because the transition to GDAL 2.2.3 has just started, I'm planning to
upload OSSIM 2.2.0 and the new OTB revision after the packages involved
in the gdal transition have migrated to testing.
Kind Regards,
Bas
