Description
I am working with one of you GDAL routines gdaladdo and trying to create overview layers from an 8bit tiff file that has packbit compression and a .tfw file, which are being used in a Mapserver application. It seems the routine does not like the packbits and gives me an error when trying to build the overviews. Is there a workaround for this? Or possibly in the near future will the routine support compressed tiff images?

OK, I have made the following changes: o libtiff/tif_open.c no longer produces an error if you try to open a compressed TIFF file in update mode. o libtiff/tif_write.c does produce an error if you try to write blocks to a pre-existing compressed TIFF image. With this change gdaladdo works fine on compressed TIFF files, but attempts to update the image in place will fail reasonably gracefully with an error message. The change is available in the libtiff CVS and will go into libtiff 3.6.0 final (not in Beta). I have also migrated the fix into the internal libtiff in GDAL, so a GDAL build with --with-libtiff=internal should include the fix immediately.
