GDAL source for Debian ---------------------- This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream source. Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in debian/patches and applied during the build. To get detailed instructions on how to apply the series of patches and modify them, please read /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source. Most of applied patches are due to Debian Policy requirements and the need of avoiding hidden breakages at every new release, due to ABI changes in the public C++ interface. This is the reason to embed versions within package and library names. -- Francesco Paolo Lovergine Tue, 01 Sep 2009 22:45:56 +0200
