This repository requires that GDAL be compiled with the postgres and FileGDB drivers. this enables us to read and write from PostGIS and to read from FileGDB.

The conda build recipe, which spandex uses, for GDAL does not build with PostGIS or FileGDB: https://github.com/conda/conda-recipes/blob/master/gdal/build.sh

One option is to say that we will not read FileGDB, and read shapefiles, and then re-write ogr2ogr commands as shp2pgsql on the shapefiles.

With GDAL 2.0 around the corner, it seems a bit silly to changing things to support 1.11, but then we can run data setup from end to end on one machine.

On the other hand, working with and linking to shapefiles on s3 is mostly preferable to FileGDB for these data, since they don't approach the size that prohibits using shapefiles.
