Bug reference:      12048
Logged by:          Paul Maseberg

PostgreSQL version: 9.4beta2
Operating system:   rhel/centos 6
Description:

For postgresql 9.3 the yum repo found at

http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/

includes newer versions of gdal packages that postgis needs to work on
rhel/centos 6.

In the postgresql 9.4 yum repo found at

http://yum.postgresql.org/9.4/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/

the gdal packages are no longer there. Postgresql 9.4 and postgis 2.1
install fine but postgis fails with library issues because the gdal packages
that come on rhel/centos 6 are to old.

Installing the gdal packages from

http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/

while using postgresql 9.4 makes it work . It would just be nice if they
were included with 9.4 like they are with 9.3
