I have no plans to do further work on this. The EPSG data is required for
libgeotiff to function and we either need to include the files in the
distribution or use the embedded data in the source. As noted, this has been
raised upstream and as yet there has been no response. I take it that Fedora has
no plans for different types of repositories - including one that would support
a package such as libgeotiff? This will be unfortunate as most of the open
source GIS packages depend on libgeotiff and gdal and therefore these packages
will be unavailable to Fedora users.
