Hi Giovanni,
thanx for your answer.
Just contacted the organization which might be in charge to answer the
question about the circumstances to redistribute that file.
I hope we are talking of the same stuff: I mean this one
http://crs.bkg.bund.de/crseu/crs/descrtrans/BeTA/BETA2007.gsb or
http://crs.bkg.bund.de/crseu/crs/descrtrans/BeTA/BETA2007.gsa
Sorry, this topic is quite new for me, so I do not really know what I am
talking about ;)
But do I see it correctly, that the "normal" way to reproject a layer with
"Save as ..." will produce quite inaccurate results, and that the users
have to be aware that they could/should use a plugin?
So there will be two ways to reproject the data,the default one (not so
accurat) and a plugin version (more accurate)?
Cheers
Bernd

Hi Bernd
Hi there,
reactivating this thread and also pushing it to the dev list to maybe
receive a statement:
Is it somehow planned to include the BETA2007.gsb and the resulting
changes into QGIS for 2.8 by default?
I received already some questions, cause now even german bureaucracy is
waking up and tell users to switch to ETRS and transform the data from
Gauss-Krueger.
But for the majority of QGIS users, this will be rocket science if they
even learn THAT they have to create custom CRS, change srs.db entries
and
do other wizardry.
So far, googling "QGIS" and "BETA2007" yields no results on any moves
into
this direction.
But without, QGIS users in Germany will likely produce tons of trash
data
in the near future or already do so without knowing (me included till
today).
Also see https://hub.qgis.org/issues/11347
... or is is not that critical as I believe it is?
exactly because ntv2 transformations should not be rocket sciemce for
the users, we (Portuguese qgis user group, with the initial help of
Alexander Bruy) created this plugin
http://www.qgis.pt/plugins/plugins.xml
Given that you can redistribute the gsb files (and for Portugal this
is possible) then the ntv2 transformations become trivial.
I had already had a thought of expanding this plugin and adding the
transfomations for countries that have available gsb grids and allow
them to redistribute.
If someone is interested or need it just let me know.
Cheers
