I can (try to) build a fresher version in COPR.

Let me try to compile it.

Hi Jukka,

this is a unfortunate move. You may have to create a custom package, 
possibly inspired from src.rpm from recent Fedora 
(https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdal). I see Markus Neteler did one 
for GDAL 3.0.4 for RHEL 7 in 
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/neteler/GDAL/


Or I assume that you may install it also from conda-forge. I believe 
their Linux binaries should run on RHEL 8.


Actually, quickly checking with AlmaLinux 8, a free clone of RHEL 8:

# docker run --rm -it almalinux:8

# dnf install wget
# wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
# sh Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh   # answer to default questions 
with [Enter]

# source /root/miniconda3/bin/activate
# conda install -c conda-forge gdal
# gdalinfo --version
GDAL 3.8.3, released 2024/01/04

Or if you only use command line utilities, use Docker images

PS: IT policies are weird. It is paradoxical to trust more an outside 
source for binaries rather than building your own from source...

Hi,

The newest GDAL in the official RHEL repo is 3.4.3, released 
2022-04-22. There used to be GDAL 3.7 available from the PostgreSQL 
repo https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages/ and we have been using 
that, but the version was removed recently. Some other user was 
unhappy as well and created a bug


Bug #7943: Providers missing from pgdg-common for GDAL 3.7 
(RHEL/CentOS/AlmaLinux 8) - PostgreSQL YUM Repository - Redmine - 
PostgreSQL community 


That user got this feedback:
“Why did you install GDAL 3.7? The packages are in the repo, but they 
were never required by any released GIS suite. I even removed them 
from git a couple of weeks ago:

Commit comment: gdal35 and gdal37: Remove from the repo. Not used in 
any packages.


By our agency’s IT policy compiling GDAL by ourselves is not possible. 
Can anyone suggest other acceptable means for getting at least GDAL 
3.7 for RHEL 8?
