Kurt Schwehr Kurt Schwehr "Another Googler and I are working on a patch to allow GDAL_DATA to be from a VSI filesystem. For example: {{{#!c++ CPLPushFinderLocation( ""/vsimem/GDAL_DATA/"" ); }}} This will make sandboxing GDAL easier and make systems easier where the GDAL_DATA files have to be written to a filesystem somewhere on startup. This will be changes like VSIFRead -> VSIFReadL for the main gdal code, but we have not figured out how to properly handle the libgeotiff code. We could use some suggestion for libgeotiff. I will post some of the patches for discussion before committing anything." enhancement closed normal closed_because_of_github_migration default svn-trunk normal wontfix
