[MetaCRS] EPSG Database Update Mechanism for libgeotiff, GDAL, PROJ.4, and PostGIS

[Norm Olsen]

Hello Frank . . .

CS-MAP now has an object (TcsEpsgdataSetV6, see csEpsgStuff.h) which provides a decent set to tolls for accessing the EPSG Data set.  It also relies on a copy of each of the 20+ tables in the EPSG database in .csv form.  I have always done this .csv extraction process manually.

Does your scheme convert all 20+ EPSG tables to .csv form?

Can you ask Paul to stash a copy of all 20+ .csv files someplace where I can get a copy of them? (I assume you are doing this for EPSG 7.1!)

Folks,

I have fleshed out the documentation on the process for converting EPSG
database updates into a form used in libgeotiff, GDAL, PROJ.4 and PostGIS.
It is available at:

   http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/geotiff/trunk/libgeotiff/csv/README

Paul Ramsey is now attempting to follow these instructions to generate
updates.  I have granted him temporary svn commit access to metacrs to put
the results into the libgeotiff repository under my close supervision.

Hopefully this will be the first step on a process to improve this process,
or at the very least to break the me-bottleneck on getting updates.

Best regards,
--
