In order to simplify the installation of the latest PDAL release (Point Data Abstraction Library, https://pdal.io/, version 1.7.0 1.7.2) on Fedora, I have created an updated set of RPM packages, again including the vertical datums and grids available from OSGeo (i.e., .gtx files from here).
The installation is as simple as this (the repository is located at Fedora’s COPR):
# enable extra repos to satisfy dependencies sudo dnf copr enable neteler/pdal-hexer sudo dnf copr enable neteler/points2grid sudo dnf copr enable neteler/laszip # install minimal dependencies sudo dnf install hexer sudo dnf install points2grid # enable and install PDAL sudo dnf copr enable neteler/pdal sudo dnf install PDAL PDAL-vdatums # run it pdal-config --version pdal --help
Enjoy!
