[PROJ] PROJ 9.4.0RC1 & PROJ-data 1.17RC1

[Kristian Evers]

I’m on a Mac and they don’t always behave as you would expect coming from a Linux system. For instance, Bas’ tar command doesn’t fly with my particular brand of tar:

$ tar tavf proj-data-1.17RC2.tar.gz | grep '\._'
tar: Option -a is not permitted in mode -t

Unpacking the file surprisingly doesn’t reveal anything either. You’d think this sort of thing was easy to figure out but here we are. I am not the release manager you deserve but the one you got. Sorry.

I’ve run a git clean and applied Bas’ patch locally:

https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-1.17RC3.tar.gz 
https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-1.17RC3.zip

If they don’t work I officially resign as release manager.

I’m sure you’re right, you are both smarter at this than I am but I don’t think that it makes much sense for me make RC3 without being able to confirm that it actually works.
> Kristian, are you doing that on Windows? Perhaps your archive manager filters out files starting with dot. Perhaps you should just wipe out your existing git clone, and recreate one from scratch. Hopefully that will remove hidden files. Or perhaps tweak your file manager to display hidden files to be able to delete them manually.
