geography/mapserver: Update to 8.2.1
This package was last updated in 2012, and has been failing to build
because it uses a withdrawn proj API. This update is rougher than our
normal standards, but brings the package to the current release and
successfully builds for me.
Packaging changes:
- convert to cmake
- drop all patches because they are to files which no longer exist and
are either
+ clearly not applicable (to configure), or
+ lack patch comments and upstream bug URLs
- depend on protobuf-c because the build complained
It remains to
- align the list of bl3 files with the upstream build docs
- set cmake flags harder, to remediate cmake's bug of finding things
that aren't bl3d
- actually test
Upstream publishes changelogs which are vast and therefore not really
helpful, and does not publish NEWS. Users are cautioned to treat this
like a new package. Given the lack of complaints, there are likely
few.
