#27509 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

Installing Geospatial libraries documentation: `gdal-bin` contradicting recommendation.

Reported by: Luke Murphy Owned by: Luke Murphy
Component: Documentation Version: 1.10
Severity: Normal Keywords: geospatial, geodjango

Description

In the first section, it reads:

On Debian/Ubuntu, you are advised to install ...

$ sudo apt-get install binutils libproj-dev gdal-bin

Optional packages to consider:
    ...
    gdal-bin: for GDAL command line programs like ogr2ogr
    ...

gdal-bin is advised and optional? Should it be remove from the Optional packages to consider section?

I'd submit a patch if this is a mix up, otherwise, feel free to close.

The text was introduced in 3084b1cfd6110e2ef57f1a67f8b7dbda309e2e13, though the contraction preceded that commit. What do you suggest, Claude?

Technically speaking, only the libgdal* library is required. Unfortunately, the exact package name changes in almost all distro versions (libgdal1-1.7.0, libgdal1h, libgdal1i, libgdal20…). We might simply remove the gdal-bin recommendation in the optional list.
