Description

My Linux builds of QGIS 2.18 are missing a number of map projections that appear in GDAL. As best I can tell, this is a result of an outdated SRS database. I am not having the same problem in my Windows installation but I suspect that must be a result of the OSGEO4W packaging, which must be providing an updated database.

Two examples that I'm aware of:
  1. EPSG 6420 (California region III)
  2. EPSG 7599 (WISCRS Dane County)

  • Resolution set to worksforme
  • Status changed from Open to Closed

crssync should be run on install to sync the srs.db with the installed GDAL.

#2 Updated by Spencer Gardner almost 8 years ago

Is this an additional installation step when building from source? If so, it should be documented. Isn't it odd to expect a user to manually run crssync when it could be called by the build script?
