[osgeo4w-dev] null grid missing from PROJ 5 package

Thanks Jürgen and Helmut.

the contributor base for OSGeo4W.

That would certainly improve things. The use of ancient tools is definitely also holding me back. Having the OSGeo4W installer and package setups on GitHub would be very appealing environment for me as a potential contributor. I realize this not a simple thing to do but it might be a good investment for the long term success of the project. That's a discussion for another day though.

This was what I was looking for. Great. I've looked at a few of the more recent build recipes for PROJ and I think the problem is caused by what is included in the final archive. The 4.93 package it is archived with:

tar cjf %R%\%P%-%V%-%B%.tar.bz2 ^
	bin ^
	include ^
	lib ^
	etc ^
	share/proj/epsg ^
	share/proj/esri ^
	share/proj/esri.extra ^
	share/proj/GL27 ^
	share/proj/IGNF ^
	share/proj/nad.lst ^
	share/proj/nad27 ^
	share/proj/nad83 ^
	share/proj/null ^
	share/proj/other.extra ^
	share/proj/proj_def.dat ^
	share/proj/worl

Whereas the 5.0 packages are archived with:

tar cjf %R%\%P%-%V%-%B%.tar.bz2 ^
	bin ^
	include ^
	lib ^
	etc ^
	share/proj


It is not clear to me why that has changed. I guess the intention is that everything in share/proj is included in the archive. I can't see from the build script how share/proj is populated though, so something may have gone wrong in that step. Maybe you can clear that up, Jürgen?

For many packages you'll find a -src.tar.bz2 next to the package, which
contains the build recipe.
