One mismatched digest found in geography/libmemphis02:
# package libmemphis02
recorded SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = dbc2f61e49b996dc9ca91df0de9a08eb7adbfa9b
calculated SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = 85993bce12c3616fcf6e7682a70b9605883edec2
No changes were made to the libmemphis02 distinfo file
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
This option fixes a pgsql version, and we're not really set up to deal
with that. It makes postgis only build for that one version. So far,
I'm not aware of a reason to have pgsql support in gdal. So, just
turn it off, and we can figure out a way to deal if there is actually
a need.
Discussed with Filip during postgis2 packaging, and I think suggested
to Brook and Adam.
gdal links against the geos C++ library, which the geos docs say not
to do. (The C++ library has a new shlib name every release, because
humans cannot understand if changes to C++ sources cause ABI changes.)
