For the Debian GIS team I'd like to transition to the recently released GDAL 1.11.3 as soon as possible. GDAL 2.0.1 was released along with 1.11.3 but several reverse dependencies still need patches to support GDAL 2.0, as recently discussed on the debian-gis list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-gis/2015/10/msg00022.html gdal (1.11.3+dfsg-1~exp1) is ready in experimental for about a month now. Because of the problematic mix of C & C++ symbols provided by libgdal, as discussed in the previous transition (#756867), the virtual ABI package provided by libgdal1i has changed to libgdal.so.1-1.11.3. The ben file used to prepare this transition is attached. Despite only marking the packages relying on C++ symbols as bad, I think all affected reverse dependencies should be binNMUed as part of this transition. All reverse dependencies build successfully with gdal (1.11.3+dfsg-1~exp1) from experimental, except gazebo (5.0.1+dfsg-2.1) and mysql-workbench (6.3.4+dfsg-1) which FTBFS for unrelated reasons. They both fail to build with plain unstable too. libgdal-grass (1.11.2-1) doesn't need a binNMU, libgdal-grass (1.11.3-1) will be uploaded to unstable instead (after liblas & grass have been rebuilt).
