Description
the new crssync utility is not run in key moments - debian installs and 'make install'. It is important that it be executed in order to avoid many problems with crs assignment (see bug #4977)
1)
There is a statement in bug #4977 that crssync is run in post inst, but I can't find where...
I have examined the debian config files and I do not see any reference to "crssync", contrary to the osgeo4w install script.
I have also built .deb files for 1.8 and there is nothing special in the (auto-generated) postinst scripts.
2)
crssync should be part of the "make install" scripts, because srs.db gets installed each time but any sync gets overwritten.
3)
Can crssync be back-ported to 1.7, or at least install an updated srs.db? (see bug #4977)
4)
It would be good to have an interface in Options (CRS tab) to run "crssync".

History
#1
Updated by Jürgen Fischer over 12 years ago
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from Open to Closed
- call in postinst added in commit:1011198 and 520e488.
- AFAIK there won't be another release of 1.7
- only root can update the srs.db, so a UI wouldn't work (easily)
- not sure about running crssync on 'make install'

Jurgen - thanks
please consider this patch which adds CRS_SYNC[=TRUE] option. After installing *.db files, crssync is run.
This is disabled in the debian/rules file by adding -D CRS_SYNC=FALSE (so it isn't done at package building but at postinst)
