Yggdrasil New recipe: MEOS

MEOS (Mobility Engine, Open Source) is a C library and its associated API for manipulating temporal and spatiotemporal data. It is the core component of MobilityDB, an open source geospatial trajectory data management & analysis platform built on top of PostgreSQL and PostGIS.

See https://libmeos.org/

edit: This release now points to the release candidate 1 release (as it requires no patches) to build. Is it ok to set the version number to v1.2.0 already and later at the actual release just rerunning it with the new commits (producing a jll with the +1 postfix)?

This fails on PROJ not being found, because: ┌ Warning: Dependency Proj_jll does not have a mapping for artifact Proj for platform x86_64-linux-gnu-libgfortran3-cxx03.

However, I'm not sure how/why the libgfortran(3) gets injected, and why PROJ_jll has no such mapping, whereas GEOS_jll with a similar mapping does.

edit: @giordano Could you help me out here? I'm overlooking something, but can't pinpoint it.

I'd suggest not doing that. The postfix is not really liked by the general registry, so while we use it for the individual builds here, it would be better to not rely on it for this.

How soon will upstream release 1.2.0?

Fair enough, let's wait for the 1.2.0 release, but I'm not sure how soon that will be. For now, this is also still blocked on Windows (Error: incorrect register '%eax' used with 'q' suffix), for which I made an upstream issue.

We just produced the v1.2.0 release of MEOS. Feel free to let us know if you encounter any issues with it.
