Has patch: set

comment:2 by Claude Paroz, 10 years ago

I'm not so enthusiast about dropping it now. It's still in use by many stable distros, hopefully not any longer when 1.9 will be released, but still... What about dropping it in Django 2.0?

comment:3 by Tim Graham, 10 years ago

If you think it's still providing value, I'm not in a rush, but I raised the issue because Daniel said his raster work requires PostGIS 2.0. We'll just have to add a feature flag for that.

You could ask on the Geodjango ML if withdrawal of PostGIS 1.5 from Django 1.9 would hurt anyone.

Patch needs improvement: unset

No replies in 7 days although the post has 7 views according to Google groups. Should we try any harder to get feedback? I think we should be somewhat free to drop older technologies, particularly since 1.8 is LTS.

comment:7 by Claude Paroz, 10 years ago

We are talking about dropping it for 1.9, not 1.8, right? I would be strongly -1 to drop it in 1.8.

comment:8 by Aymeric Augustin, 10 years ago

Yes, we're talking about dropping it from 1.9. The impact on users is lessened because 1.8 is LTS.

comment:9 by Claude Paroz, 10 years ago

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood the comment.

Patch looks good per Claude, but I'm going to try to put together something like a docker config to ease testing on newer versions of PostGIS since Claude's system (Debian stable) includes 1.5 and he is our main contributor.
