Description

Hi Proj is the base library of many GIS software like QGIS and QGIS 3 but the new version, 5.0.0, has many bug that cause error in GIS software. Problems are solved if MacPorts re-introduces the previous version, 4.9.3, which is very stable and works.

Thanks

Could you be more specific about the problems?

We already offer a proj47 port for the old 4.7.0 version. Maybe we need to also offer a proj49 port for the old 4.9.3 version.

Hi

It has a bug in version 5.0. It is written on different mailing-lists:

https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2018-March/052501.htm

The problem is that in QGIS, compiled with PROJ 5.0.0, it is not possible to re-project two maps with different coordinates: one is shifted. Of course it makes QGIS unusable. If the same QGIS is compiled with PROJ 4.9.3, the very stable and reliable old version, everything works perfectly. I managed to do this in MacPorts by keeping the old 4.9.3 and recompile and everything works well.
The developer talks about a fix in April with version 5.0.1 but PROJ 5 is really very new and has changed deeply. For some time to be able to use QGIS and QGIS3, but GRASS too is preferable to use version 4.9.3, then in a while, when these very limiting bugs are fixed, everything will move to version 5.x.
Or as you say you offer proj49 activated instead of proj50 to compile QGIS and other software.

proj4 contains version 4.9.3. I believe this can be closed.
