No, not the same :) Sorry, I mean that the directory should have the  
same structure as the (py)proj data directory. Pyproj uses the files  
in the data dir ('../site-packages/pyproj/data') by default. If you  
want to use you own definitions you can configure another location  
with the proj_data_dir option. Pyproj will look in that directory for  
the srs definitions.

You can modify the pyproj data files in-place, but its not recommended  
since the files might be removed/modified when pyproj gets updated.

Hmmm, I can't reproduce that. It works for me with a proxy.yaml:
-----
srs:
   proj_data_dir: './srs'
----

and the following directory structure:

(mapproxy)os at proxy-debian:~/mapproxy/conf$ find etc/
etc/
etc/services.yaml
etc/srs
etc/srs/epsg
etc/seed.yaml
etc/log_deploy.ini
etc/develop.ini
etc/config.ini
etc/proxy.yaml

You should see an info message when you start MapProxy with paster:
(mapproxy)os at proxy-debian:~/mapproxy/conf$ paster serve etc/develop.ini
[...]
2010-06-09 02:51:37,068 - INFO - 3076:mapproxy.core.srs:_init_proj -  
loading proj data from /home/os/mapproxy/conf/etc/./srs

Regards,
Oliver
