Not being a package maintainer I am not sure if I have the privilige of voting on a package's acceptance but ... as a bit of background since this package is probably unfamiliar to most .... Proj is becoming a standard library in the GIS world and is required for many projects to include amongst others 1) Geotiff http://remotesensing.org/geotiff/geotiff.html 2) GDAL http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/ 3) Grass http://grass.baylor.edu/ 4) VTP http://www.vterrain.org/ 5) OSSIM http://www.ossim.org/ 6) MB-System http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/MB-System/ and more Having libTiff, Proj and GeoTiff available as Cygwin packages maintained by one person just make sense as these are interrelated packages :-) Chuck has volunteered to do this, thanks Chuck, and hopefully these will be accepted for inclusion in the Cygwin 'package' category Cheers Norman > Charles Wilson wrote: > > > The PROJ Cartographic Projections library (and utilities) originally > > written by Gerald Evenden then of the USGS.
