Remove postgis, because it requires gdal #4

Closed jonathan-s closed 3 years ago

jonathan-s commented 3 years ago

It seems like postgis requires gdal to use. Because I don't have gdal and because it seems like it requires some extra non-trivial steps to use + timescaledb doesn't actually use postgis I opted to remove postgis.

So this works for me now. I would suggest that if you introduce postgis you also document what is needed to get going with gdal.

Thanks for your pull requests.

I started using this myself with a postgis project not so long ago, so the project is more or less completely fresh :)

I would assume that users using postgis will know about the gdal dependency from the django site or elsewhere, so I'll leave the documentation as is.

Feel free to continue improving this project and again many thanks!
