Folks, For a few months now the gdal/frmts/pcidsk/sdk directory has been referenced from the pcidsk sdk subversion using svn:externals in GDAL trunk. This had the benefit of ensuing the latest pcidsk code was always used with GDAL trunk. However, it has had some downsides too.
1) I tended to forget to update gdal/frmts/pcidsk/GNUmakefile when I added files to the pcidsk sdk which was breaking the build. 2) When folks made branches, such as winkey recently did, it was hard to keep the gdal/frmts/pcidsk/GNUmakefile up to date. 3) Each time I make a stable branch, like for 1.7, I need to futz around to turn the svn:external into a local copy. 4) Evaluating the svn:external made my svn updates noticably slower since they were done as an extra roundtrip to the server. Anyways, the problem are not insurmountable, but on balance I think the benefits of using svn:external are outweighed by hassles and so I have gotten rid of the svn:external and done an svn copy of the sdk into the GDAL trunk. I will refresh it periodically. Let me know if anyone runs into problems or thinks this was the wrong thing to do.
