== Updating a libgdal-* Package ==

The libgdal-* packages (libgdal-grass for example) are format in the gdal source. This tutorial will explain how to get the source from gdal's source.

 * Get the gdal's srouces from http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource and extract them and
  {{{
  cd gdal-1.9.2
  ./configure
  cd frmts/grass #using gdal-grass for this example
  make dist
  }}}
 There should be .tar.gz in the folder, this is your source. Rename it with the proper .orig.tar.gz name for the package (libgdal-grass.orig.tar.gz) and put it where you are building your package.

You can now proceed how you would update a package normally.
