Comment 1 rhel-process-autobot 2025-07-04 12:15:38 UTC
This issue is purely informational, you do not need to take any action. Thank you for your work maintaining gdal in EPEL 9. Red Hat considers this package important enough to promote it to official RHEL. It will be part of RHEL 9.7. Please do not update gdal in EPEL 9 so the RHEL version can have a higher version and release. When RHEL 9.7 is released, EPEL automation will remove gdal from EPEL 9 and close this bug.

Based on the content in CentOS 9, it looks like only these subpackages from the build are being added to RHEL 9.7:

* gdal
* gdal-devel
* gdal-libs

Other subpackages from the EPEL build are not currently on track to be added, and will effectively disappear when the EPEL package is retired.

* gdal-doc
* gdal-java
* gdal-javadoc
* gdal-perl
* gdal-python-tools
* python3-gdal

If these packages are important, please follow the instructions in the EPEL docs to either request those subpackages be included in RHEL, or create a gdal-epel package to provide the missing subpackages.

Hi, I'd like to create the gdal-epel package, is anyone else working on it?

Hi, not me - feel free to work on it!
