I locally updated pkgsrc on NetBSD 10 amd64.
Builds and packages fine, and tests pass.
I started up qgis and my data still lines up.

The updated proj-data package has the two new files in your
announcement.

So looks good to release, from where I sit.





Not about this release, but triggered by my preparing the RC package:

We have a longstanding proj-docs package that intends to have a pdf of
the manual, and it's been broken since 9.2ish.  I see that one can
obtain a pdf at

  https://proj.org/_/downloads/en/9.6/pdf/

which is unfortunately named for systems expecting to store a file
proj-doc-9.6.pdf, even though formally there are no rules.  I managed to
work around this, but it would be nice if the URL looked something like

  https://proj.org/_/downloads/en/proj-doc-9.6.pdf

Not important, probably all the packagers have already coped, and that
is likely baked into rtd.
