I've been "playing" with appveyor (doesn't work - hits the 1h timeout), azure-pipelines (which kind of works) and github workflows (which does not yet work) to implement the Windows CI many people are keen on. Progress is very slow - every single step takes ages… A successful run takes more than 2-3h on azure-pipelines… Caching would help, but hits disk space limits. github workflows currently needs 0.5h to hit the first obstacle (ie. first compiler invocation). I could probably have done "fix windows build" commits of a life time with less effort ;) Anyway, introducing proj5 and gdal2 packages could work - but not without shifting the point release date again. And that's only considering QGIS. GRASS and spatialite are now using PROJ 6 too. Not sure if that can be made to work together as is or whether we'd need separate packages for those too. Duplicating the osgeo4w repositories for this and rolling the fork back to the previous state could be an option too - the old packages are still there - but that would break the packaging routines. People using the osgeo4w installer would also need to change the URL to get it. So that's not very appealing either. Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
