Upstream struggles with the porting since May 2019.
I managed to port the code so that it compiles, but tests fail. The reason is that the new Proj API changes semantics. That requires a complete rewrite of perl-Geo-Proj4 because perl-Geo-Proj4 is only a thin wrapper around Proj. The complete rewrite would naturally change perl-Geo-Proj4 API and semantics. That means perl-Geo-Proj4 is dead. Upstream confirmed he cannot work on that. We need to retire perl-Geo-Proj4. Affected packages: perl-Geo-Proj4 perl-Geo-Point -- hard-require perl-Geo-Proj4, will be retired. perl-GIS-Distance -- uses perl-Geo-Point for optional tests. Optional tests will be disabled. perl-GIS-Distance-Fast -- hard-require perl-GIS-Distance Therefore I'm going to retire perl-Geo-Proj4 and perl-Geo-Point. perl-GIS-Distance spec file will be adjusted. perl-GIS-Distance-Fast does not need any changes.
This package was removed from Fedora 32.
