[R-sig-Geo] Pre-GDAL 2: rgdal changes

[Roger Bivand]

Thanks for being willing to help! It may be worth asking William 
Kyngesburye whether he has tried building a GDAL 2.0.0 framework - the 
first release candidate was released yesterday (and yes, rgdal 1.0-2 
passes check under Fedora with yesterday's GDAL 2.0.0 RC1). If he is 
willing, you would be a tester helping him too. The release of GDAL 2 is 
impending (actually, it was meant to follow 1.9, but got held up).
