EPEL Armadillo 4.320.0 update broke gdal and PostGIS

[Devrim Gündüz]

Hi,

The latest armadillo update on EPEL broke gdal and PostGIS on PostgreSQL
RPM repository. I tried to rebuild gdal 1.9.2 with new armadillo, and
getting build errors. Any chance to revert this update?

Regards,

I was asked to push Armadillo 4.x for some group who was using it, and
it should be reverse compatible, so I am confused about why you are
getting problems.  The rebuild should not have any issue.  Could you
post a link to the build log so I can decide what the best thing to do
here is?

Thanks,

Ryan

Just to be explicit - armadillo in EPEL6 was updated from 
armadillo-3.800.2-1.el6 to armadillo-4.320.0-1.el6 which involves a 
soname bump and lots of changes:

The project uses major version bumps to indicate API/ABI incompatibility:

Except for exceptional circumstances this is forbidden in EPEL.

I still don't understand why the Armadillo package ships a library,
since Armadillo is just a C++ template library...
