Hi,
I'm working on packaging the gdal extensions for
the 1.7.0-rc1 release.
The current set of files one needs are:
- the pure java jars, which can be handled as
normal extension
- the windows binary libraries, a zip file, 2.5MB
- the linux binary libraries, a zip file, 2.9MB
- the GDAL_DATA directory contents, a zip file,
200KB file
A quick way could be to just throw the binaries into
the GeoServer svn under release, so that they are
packaged along with the gdal plugin.
Upside:
- easy, just one download for the user
- no need to think of extra uploads to sourceforge
Downside:
- extra 6MB in svn
- I hear the binaries are going to change much slower than
the jars
As an alternative, we could attach the binaries
to a confluence page, and have instructions to download
them into a readme file to be shipped along with
the pure java jars.
I'm lending towards the second option. Opinions?
Cheers
Andrea
Nice work, this will be sweet once its all ready to go.

You know how i feel about binary data in svn :). If necessary sure go for it, but i think i like your second option better. I don't think its too much of a hassle to download them separately.
