use later version of GEOS

[evetion]

The GEOS 3.4.2 was released in 2013. Please use 3.4.3 or newer versions such as 3.5 or 3.6.

See https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ for versions and http://download.osgeo.org/geos/ for downloads.

Will you like to attempt a PR for this?

[visr]

@yeesian for the Windows side of this, which comes from https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:yeesian, is there any way we can help updating? I'd like to update GDAL to 2.2 as well.

[evetion]

I could attempt a PR to change 1 character. Should be able to figure it out.

@visr was 10s faster, can we help updating your opensuse repository? I would like to see GEOS versions 3.5 and 3.6 as well.

[yeesian]

However, the main problem is with the windows build, from your own repository.

I'd like to try and increase the bus factor of this package, haha. If you don't mind, can you try mirroring the setup in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:airbus-geo/geos and point the URL there?

[visr]

@yeesian the conda option seems tempting, but the risk is to run into issues like this
JuliaIO/HDF5.jl#323 (comment)

Since you already put the work into setting up an OBS let's stick with that for now?

My shortest PR yet (can it be smaller?) #36

The binaries should be updated on OBS soon. @visr do you have a user account on OBS? I'll be happy to give you permissions there.

Everything seems to build. Created second PR to use version 3.6.1. #37

[visr]

@yeesian I do have an account on OBS, also with id visr.

Thanks for updating both GEOS and GDAL on OBS!
