Hi Trevor,

[ Cc-ed to ~alpine/devel@lists.alpinelinux.org ]

I'm writing to you because your mail address is listed in 'Maintainer'
field for package testing/gdal in Alpine Linux aports.

I prepared an upgrade to version 3.0.1 with the following features:

* replace Python 2 client subpackage by a Python 3 client
* add support for NumPy arrays to the Python client
* add Java subpackage
* add util subpackage for command line utilities
* execute autotest regression test suite to check()
* add lots of new drivers, the most important are:
  * NetCDF
  * HDF5
  * JPEG2000
  * webp
  * DAP 3.x servers
  * JPEG-LS
  * KML
  * ODBC
  * MySQL

As those are major changes to the GDAL package, I'm asking you to review
the patch and tell me if you have any objections to me sending the patch
to Alpine aports. You can see the changes here:
https://github.com/hjaekel/aports/commit/b814078799b6650aa406e7bc271e8666fa9e97d6

In addition I would like to know if you have any intention to continue
maintaining the gdal package in Alpine in future.

Best regards
  Holger
