There has been no feedback from the Release Team about the gdal transition yet. Keep an eye on #756867 for progress. https://bugs.debian.org/756867 > * Fix the libspatialite SONAME to not decrement.

A patch has been added, but it's not enable yet to prevent having to pass the NEW queue again. The patch has also been forwarded upstream. http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/spatialite.git/tree/debian/patches/14-soversion.patch?h=experimental > While I prefer to first do the spatialite transition because of its > limited scope, having to wait for the final release and passing NEW > again won't make that likely.

SpatiaLite 4.3.0 will be released as soon as possible instead.

The spatialite_init_ex() changes from the pyspatialite embedded copy in QGIS are included in pyspatialite (3.0.1-7) and will soon be available in unstable. The changes have also been forwarded upstream: https://github.com/lokkju/pyspatialite/issues/24 https://github.com/lokkju/pyspatialite/issues/25 Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
