Bug#917323: transition: gdal

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

For the Debian GIS team I'd like to transition to GDAL 2.4.0.

Like the previous transition to GDAL 2.3.0 (#898566), there is no SONAME
bump, only the virtual ABI package changed to account for the C++ symbol
changes.

All reverse dependencies rebuilt successfully with GDAL 2.4.0 from
experimental as summarized below, except mysql-workbench due to an
unrelated issue (#914761).

libgdal-grass doesn't need a binNMU as the 2.4.0 version will be
uploaded to unstable instead. liblas likewise doesn't need a binNMU,
the version is experimental will be moved to unstable instead.


Ben file:

title = "gdal";
is_affected = .depends ~ "gdal-abi-2-3-0" | .depends ~ "gdal-abi-2-4-0";
is_good = .depends ~ "gdal-abi-2-4-0";
is_bad = .depends ~ "gdal-abi-2-3-0";


Kind Regards,

Bas
