Hopefully that leaves me with a set of files without any extra MacOS attributes. That method doesn’t feel particularly foolproof though, so I think it is time to look into automating the release process. For another project I am working on, I have been looking into saving artifacts from GitHub Action runs and publishing them as releases on GitHub. I don’t think that would be too difficult to setup for PROJ-data.

Removing the extended attributes from your working copy should suffice.

Adding `xattr -c` to the release procedure may help.

Kind Regards,
