Description

Unfortunately r15361 have introduced one huge problem: all layers with correct WGS-84 prj definition are recognized as the 'EPSG:4148 - Hartebeesthoek94' crs. It can be really confusing and annoying for users and I believe we can't release 1.7 with it. Especially if it will be the last release of the 1.x series.

What about trying to find the exact definition and then fallback to the less restrictive comparision?

When I first encountered this problem, I was told that I can use

OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84=NO

to bypass this problem. Take a look at [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3450]

#2 Updated by Borys Jurgiel over 13 years ago

I only mean that all the files existing around, that was recognised as well known 4326 should be still recognised as it. With all due respect for EPSG:4148, it's unknown for most users.

please retry with 393e206e (SVN r15503).

#4 Updated by Borys Jurgiel over 13 years ago

Seems to be fixed for OGR layers. Rasters are still affected.

Replying to [comment:4 borysiasty]:

Seems to be fixed for OGR layers. Rasters are still affected.

please try with 59ce32eb (SVN r15508) - unfortunately I don't have a good set of rasters to test with - but it correctly picks EPSG:32633 for tests/landsat.tif...
