Ssome of the enclosed files are arch independent + and some other are not, because written as CTABLE structure. You need to use + the nad2bin utility to regenerate those files starting from the distributed one + if you wish, and the program must be run on the right target host. + + The original datum shifts are at the date of this program: + + http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.4.zip + and chenyx06.zip for the Swiss NTv2 grid. + + Old packages did not contain the additional datum shifts due to an oversight + and needed to be integrated with the lacking information in order to work + correctly with some projections and world areas (US, Canadian, French and + New Zealand). + + Note also that Canada distributes also its own better quality datum shifts + information in NTv2 format, but they are not re-distributable, so if you + would use those information you are on your own. + + -- Francesco Paolo Lovergine <[email protected]> Fri, 29 May 2009 12:34:00 +0200 _______________________________________________ Pkg-grass-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-grass-devel
