proj (4.6.1-5) unstable; urgency=low Note that current package includes datum shifts which are traditionally distributed off the main tarball, and now maintained in a separate per arch proj-data package. Some of the enclosed files are arch independent and some other are not, because written as CTABLE structure. You need to use the nad2bin utility to regenerate those files starting from the distributed one if you wish, and the program must be run on the right target host. The original datum shifts are at the date of this program: http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.4.zip and chenyx06.zip for the Swiss NTv2 grid. Old packages did not contain the additional datum shifts due to an oversight and needed to be integrated with the lacking information in order to work correctly with some projections and world areas (US, Canadian, French and New Zealand). Note also that Canada distributes also its own better quality datum shifts information in NTv2 format, but they are not re-distributable, so if you would use those information you are on your own. -- Francesco Paolo Lovergine Fri, 29 May 2009 12:34:00 +0200
