[PROJ] Calling for 7.0.1 release

[Kristian Evers]

Devrim,

Welcome to the list! We're always happy to hear from the packagers of PROJ.

As you may already be aware, the next release is scheduled for May 1st. I am
curious as to why this can't wait about a month to be dealt with? What are
the other packages that are blocked by this?

Ideally I would push out new packages maybe once a month but that is simply
not feasible for me to do. I can't set time aside that often to put out a new release.
We are currently doing bi-monthly releases which I think is rather frequent and
most importantly (to me) it fits my work schedule fairly well. With that said,
exceptions can be made, I just need the arguments to be convincing.

Best regards,
Kristian

Hi,

Greetings first: I'm the PostgreSQL.org RPM packager for
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora/SLES.

This issue is blocking me to release 7.0 on RHEL 7:

https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/issues/2070

I found automake 1.6 on SLES, but RHEL 7 does not have it. I'm not too eager to
build a custom RPM just for that one.

So, any chance to release 7.0.1 earlier than planned? RHEL/CentOS 7 is a
majority of our user base, and this blocks other updates in the repo as well.

Thanks!

Regards,
