Create release packages using GitHub Actions about proj-data HOT 4 CLOSED

I've been thinking of a similar strategy too. The libgeos team have a release.yml workflow as inspiration. And now their md5sum from (e.g) geos-3.12.1.tar.bz2 at https://github.com/libgeos/geos/releases/tag/3.12.1 is identical to the one at https://download.osgeo.org/geos/ which is neat. This idea applies to PROJ too.

I implemented automated release artifact generation (and signing!) using GitHub Actions in libgeotiff recently. This could be adapted to PROJ/PROJ-data without much trouble.

It might be simpler to remove the extended attributes from any files in the working directory as part of the release process, e.g.:

find . -type f -exec xattr -c {} \;

from proj-data.

That is just yet another step to mess up. An automated procedure is preferred and this is a sufficient pain point for to make it happen.
