Regarding GRASS packaging, the most important new features in PROJ 7 are
The new PROJ-data package is with 484M quite heavy, substantially increasing the size of the standalone installer. OTOH, not including the new PROJ-data package requires internet connection to fetch needed (parts of) grids for coordinate operations, which is inconvenient in countries with generally poor internet connection (e.g. Germany). Therefore I opt to include the new PROJ-data package in the GRASS standalone installer.
If the main concern is the size of pre-built Windows packages how about adjusting GRASS to use proj-7.x so that those of us running linux (perhaps macos, too) can build from source repo pulls? That makes it available for those of us who build from source while the package inclusion issue is decided.
@metzm just to be sure: are further changes needed in GRASS GIS to support PROJ 7.x or is that already supported?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
PROJ 7.0.0 has been released these days (announcement)
Describe the solution you'd like
check for needed adaptions in (win)GRASS; e.g. which PROJ-data package should be included in standalone installers, etc.
