Amusingly I am also the EPEL/Centos maintainer of PROJ (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/proj) but I believe that per policy I cannot push a major version bump to the Centos repo. But I don't really know and didn't study that too much. However, there is "Fedora ELN" which provides PROJ 7 but I am not sure what ELN is for. > I suggest removing the github test for Centos 7 and using Centos 8 instead, > if possible.
