Just FTR, it was decided to not include postgis into RHSCL 1.1. The reason is that there are too many dependencies which can be limited by removing some of the features, but since we don't have specific customer requests, we don't know the use cases well enough. Some more notes for the future.. The following list seems to be a *minimum* set (not what is currently used in Fedora) of packages that would need to be added into postgresql92 collection to have postgis successfully built: * proj * geos * gdal * libgeotiff * CharLS * g2clib-devel If we would like to build gdal *exactly* as it is packaged in fedora, we'd end up with the following extra list of dependencies that are not in rhel: * cfitsio * hdf * hdf5 * libdap * librx * netcdf * ogdi * armadillo * freexl * libgta * libspatialite * libwebp * gpsbabel * shapelib *** Bug 1300650 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** FYI: I have taken a look at the postgis package and its dependencies that are missing from RHEL7 in a bit more detail: Required dependencies: geos proj gdal libgeotiff - Needed for GeoTIFF format g2clib - Needed for GRIB format Optional dependencies: CharLS - JPEG-LS driver cfitsio - FITS data format hdf + hdf5 - HDF and other data formats libdap - OPeNDAP support libgta - GTA format openjpeg2 - JPEG2000 driver netcdf - NetCDF data format freexl - Excel file extraction armadillo - Linear algebra library for faster computation libkml - Google driver for KML Not needed dependencies (for PostGIS): gpsbabel - used for gps format conversion, don't think PostGIS uses this libspatialite - Spatialite (SQLite) ogdi - From GDAL >= 1.5.0, there should be little reason to use the OGDI raster bridge librx - POSIX regexp functions, have not found out what it is used for so far Red Hat does not currently plan to provide any further changes to this collection in a Red Hat Software Collections update release. This software collection is nearing the retirement date (May 2019) after which customers are encouraged to upgrade to a later release. Please contact Red Hat Support if you have further questions, or refer to the support lifecycle page for more information. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl/ In accordance with the Red Hat Software Collections Product Life Cycle, the support period for this collection has ended. New bug fix, enhancement, and security errata updates, as well as technical support services will no longer be made available for this collection. Customers are encouraged to upgrade to a later release. Please contact Red Hat Support if you have further questions, or refer to the support lifecycle page for more information. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl/ This request was evaluated by Red Hat Engineering for inclusion in a future update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat does not plan to provide this feature in Red Hat Software Collections. With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative approach when evaluating enhancements for inclusion in maintenance updates for currently deployed products. |
