Bug#802222: transition: gdal

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Usertags: transition

For the Debian GIS team I'd like to transition to the recently released
GDAL 1.11.3 as soon as possible.

GDAL 2.0.1 was released along with 1.11.3 but several reverse dependencies
still need patches to support GDAL 2.0, as recently discussed on the
debian-gis list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2015/10/msg00022.html

gdal (1.11.3+dfsg-1~exp1) is ready in experimental for about a month
now.

Because of the problematic mix of C & C++ symbols provided by libgdal,
as discussed in the previous transition (#756867), the virtual ABI package
provided by libgdal1i has changed to libgdal.so.1-1.11.3.

The ben file used to prepare this transition is attached.

Despite only marking the packages relying on C++ symbols as bad, I think
all affected reverse dependencies should be binNMUed as part of this
transition.

All reverse dependencies build successfully with gdal (1.11.3+dfsg-1~exp1)
from experimental, except gazebo (5.0.1+dfsg-2.1) and
mysql-workbench (6.3.4+dfsg-1) which FTBFS for unrelated reasons. They
both fail to build with plain unstable too.

libgdal-grass (1.11.2-1) doesn't need a binNMU, libgdal-grass (1.11.3-1)
will be uploaded to unstable instead (after liblas & grass have been
rebuilt).
