gdal version 1.7.2 was released on April, 23th. There are many
improvements against version 1.6.0 (from December 2008) which we found
in the ports.

Are there any plans to update graphics/gdal in the next time?

If I could help (like testing) in some way please let me know.

Thanks in advance for answering,
Rainer Hurling

Because of getting no response on the first posting until now, I tried
to make a suggestion for a patch. Sorry for answering to myself.

The attached patch upgrades graphics/gdal from 1.6.0 to 1.7.2. Building
and installing works for me and new features of gdal like converting R
and SAGA GIS datasets are working :-)

As I have mentioned in another posting, there is a problem with option
'python'. When option 'python' is checked ON, the PORTREVISION will be
hardcoded to 4, see line 192 of original Makefile (instead of 9 for the
most recent version from today). I changed PORTREVISION to
PYDISTUTILS_PORTREVISION, but I am not sure, if this is the right way ;-(

The patch increments libgdal version from lgdal.14 to lgdal.15. Due to
this some other ports like math/saga should also be updated.

Could someone please be so kind to have a look at this patch? An updated
graphics/gdal port is really needed for other ports like math/R and
math/saga.
