[Tim Sutton]

Thanks for the update Peter. I probably can’t be much help with the actual packaging, but I am happy to help with testing etc.

Regards

Tim

The packager is dependent on the dependencies from https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac <https://github.com/OSGeo/homebrew-osgeo4mac>, which were not updated to the required proj6&gdal3 versions yet. Last production-ready version was based on GDAL2 and therefore the official all-in-one package is based on that too ATM.
