Description
The linux qgis nightly-build offered @ http://qgis.org/debian-nightly is built using a 2-years-old version of gdal (1.7.3). Long story short, it results is misaligned on-the-fly reprojected layers (see screenshot qgis-linux-displacement-error.jpg). The problem puzzled me for a short while as I'm mostly developing projects on a windows qgis nightly-build version that didn't show this symptom as the build is using the latest gdal version.
It's rather a big issue that CRSs are projected differently (ie wrongly in one case) when moving from a windows to a linux machine using the same qgis version.
While I understand the need to insure qgis builds with default system libraries of targeted linux systems, could there be an arrangement (maybe a different build?) that features the latest version of the various libraries qgis uses to bring the linux build at par with windows?

- Status changed from Open to Rejected
- Resolution set to invalid
The nightly builds are using the gdal version of the target distributions and are mainly to test if qgis builds against a variety of different versions. Maintaining own builds of GDAL is out of scope.

+ 1 !
It would be good to have a qgis nightly version, built against the ubuntugis-unstable gdal version (1.9.0).
Thanks

The way I raised the issue might have been poorly worded, but it'd be nice for the underlying issue not to be rejected that fast :) I understand linux distributions like ubuntu still using gdal 1.7.3 are mainly to blame here, but still...
Isn't there some sort of an arrangement that could be set up allowing for a qgis linux build featuring up-to-date libraries like windows? Or is there no other option but to push very hard for distribution to be more active in upgrading libraries?

Nice! I found:
Precise:
deb http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly precise main
deb-src http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly precise main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu precise main
Is it new? Or I just had not noticed it before?
Thanks

they are not new, but there is still no qgis package in ubuntugis/precise

But the nightly builds with ubuntugis are new: 2.6.3.2 ubuntugis

Installed and Working good! Many thanks!

I've confirmed that using a linux qgis build with gdal 1.9 fixes the displacement issue which was raised while filing this issue.
I'd actually change the resolution from invalid to fixed as there is now an infrastructure that provides qgis builds using latest libs both for debian and ubuntu.
Thanks to all involved, glad the issue was taken seriously after all :o)

Hi there...
I found something strange...
apt-rdepends qgis | grep libgdal
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Depends: libgdal1-1.7.0
libgdal1-1.7.0
Depends: libgdal1-1.7.0
Depends: libgdal1-1.7.0
is this right? Should not qgis depend on the version 1.9 (libgdal1 (1.9.0-2~precise1))?
The same happens with grass package from ubuntugis...
apt-rdepends grass | grep libgdal
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Depends: libgdal1-1.7.0
I opened a ticket (http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/ticket/22), but no answers yet...
is this wrong, or am I missing something?
Leonardo
P.S: sorry about my english!

I got an answer form the ubuntugis people...
owner changed from ubuntu@… to jlarouche
status changed from new to assigned
You're right, I can confirm that it's still using libgdal1-1.7.0.
I guess it's all part of the same problem
