Bug 414441

Update.  I forcefully disabled grass in the spec and now the build gets to
start, but fails due to a compile error:

Ping?  Can the maintainer please respond?  This has been broken in rawhide for
almost 2 weeks and it blocking the rebuild of several other packages including
grass, mapserver and others.

Hmm, a clue seems to be that since gdal was last rebuilt, the hdf package which
is a BuildRequires, has undergone a version upgrade:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22692

and from the changelog it looks like it has done some odd business with the netcdf:

* Mon Oct 29 2007 Patrice Dumas <pertusus> 4.2r2-4
- install the netcdf.h file that describes the netcdf2 hdf enabled
  API

* Mon Oct 29 2007 Patrice Dumas <pertusus> 4.2r2-3
- ship hdf enabled nc* utils as hnc*
- add --disable-netcdf that replaces HAVE_NETCDF
- keep include files timestamps, and have the same accross arches
- fix multiarch difference in include files (#341491)

* Wed Oct 17 2007 Patrice Dumas <pertusus> 4.2r2-2
- update to 4.2r2

and I notice on the gdal wiki it mentions some compatibility issues with netcdf:

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/HDF

Investigating this it appears that some changes in hdf causes this (see bug #189337)

Bumping priority and severity as this continues to block 4 or 5 other packages
and causes many broken deps in rawhide.

As the reviewer of gdal, I tried to check and with some fixes
gdal builds.
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=317495

However, it seems that Balint does not allow cvsgroup access...

Created attachment 290803 [details]
Patch against devel/gdal.spec 

This is the patch against the spec file extracted from the SRPM mentioned in
comment #5 above.  Please apply ASAP.

Hello Tasaka, Jesse

Would you like please to grant for my Balint Cristian <rezso> aceess:

My account looks like this (i pass CLA and so on):
cvsextras 	rezso 		user 	unapproved 	None
fedorabugs 	rezso 		user 	unapproved 	Unneeded

I guess i need new sponsorshisp since i cannot access cbalint
anymore, so i have to use non RH account for future.

Package Change Request
======================
Package Name: gdal
Owners: rezso

Owner needs to be a fas account name  not an email address.

Package Change Request

Package Name: gdal

cvs done.

This is now fixed, so closing bug.   But the new rebuild introduced some bogus
Perl deps which cause more broken deps (I've opened up a separate bug: bug #428541)
