This would break various packages around GDAL, which is against the EPEL policy. Sorry, but I'm afraid the EPEL policy does not allow for that: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL_Updates_Policy If you need it for yourself, you can try to rebuild the package from Fedora. We used to have a downstream repo doing rebuilds (ELGIS) and I left the conditionals for EPEL inside. So it's probably still possible. What is more, Pavel Lisý has a COPR repo with backports: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/pali/el6gis/builds/ Thanks for the explanation. Additional question: is anybody working to make gdal2 available in EPEL-6 (as an additional package using separate name and directories to not conflict with gdal-1.7)? Not that I knew. I wonder if it even makes sense, with most of the underlying libraries being old too. Our manpower is very limited with GIS packaging and we greatly appreciate new volunteers. |
