gdal 2.2.1 fails to build, with +openjpeg variant due to openjpeg version being > 2.2

[ajmas (Andre-John Mas)]

Trying to install gdal +openjpeg with the latest update fails to build since it depends on a version of openjpeg no longer being provide by MacPorts.

MacPorts provides openjpeg 2.3, while gdal+openjpeg complains that it needs 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2:

Is there any way to make the gdal+openjpeg dependency more lenient, so it keeps up to date with the openjpeg updates? I see that gdal+openjpeg was only just updated in September (see: #54840)

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers gdal), if any.

I'm with you. OpenJPEG updates should be no more than an annual event, IMHO.
