./databases/postgresql-postgis2, Spatial database capabilities for PostgreSQL

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 3.5.0nb6, Package name: postgresql13-postgis-3.5.0nb6, Maintainer: gdt

PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational
database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server,
allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information
systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS
follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL" and has been
certified as compliant with the "Types and Functions" profile.

PostGIS/PostgreSQL includes the following functionality:
* Simple Features as defined by the OpenGIS Consortium (OGC)
* Support for Well-Known Text and Well-Known Binary representations of GIS
objects
* Fast spatial indexing using GiST
* Geospatial analysis functions
* PostgreSQL JDBC extension objects corresponding to the geometries
* Support for OGC access functions as defined by the Simple Features
Specification

The package is postgis2 for historical reasons; this is currently
PostGIS 3 and intends to track the most recent stable release.

databases/postgresql-postgis2: Alow pg17

The README does not say, but the release announcement for 3.5.0 says
"best served with PostgreSQL 17 RC1".  While it's ridiculous for a
release to recommend using a non-release, it's a clue that 17 should
be ok.

databases/postgresql-postgis2: Remove buildlink3.mk

Postgis having a bl3 file is:

  - unused: no package (even in wip) includes it

  - conceptually wrong: When a package has postgis support, it does so
    by linking the postgresql client libs, and then sending queries
    with spatial objects across that connection.  There is nothing to
    link against.  And, just like any other use of a database, the
    server might be on some other machine -- so depending programs are
    simply clients anyway.

In theory this will change nothing and break nothing...
