[postgis-devel] spatial_ref_sys maintainance

[Sandro Santilli]

I've seen spatial_ref_sys was first updated with some automatic
export from GDAL and then manually tweaked to add "historical manual
diffs" [1].

Is the process documented somewhere ? How can we ensure these manual
diffs are always retained in the future ?

Also, updating that table currently requires manually tweaking
the extensions/postgis/sql_bits/mark_editable_objects.sql.in file,
which is error prone [2]. Can it be automated to reduce the risk ?
