Earlier in the thread, Tamas was able to reel off some Nuget package manager numbers for the C# bindings. One could do the same in Python via Conda or PyPI for "gdal" / "rasterio" / "fiona", in R via <the R package manager> for rgdal, and so on.</div><div><br></div><div>Daniel<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 31 Jan 2025 at 14:56, David Strip via gdal-dev <<a href="mailto:gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

While this is a great solution in terms of accurate knowledge of
use, I can already hear the comments regarding privacy, proxies,
etc.<br>
