Consolidated SRS database/list?

Ok, thanks! While the page provided information about the project and its funding status I couldn't find the SQLite database. Do you happen to know when this will be available?
No more than is on that page, plus the time needed to re-write plenty of sf, lwgeom, rgdal and sp. At that stage, contributions welcome! Roger

Dear list members, A few years ago Roger Bivand posted a discussion ( https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-geo/2015-August/023204.html ) about consolidating SRS definitions into a SQLite database and I am wondering
if
there has been any development along those lines.
Rather than trying this just within R, we're hoping that the GDAL barn-raising effort: https://gdalbarn.com/ will take us there and further, and be much better than having a non-standard implementation. When that effort is done, we'll be open for ideas about interfacing it through PROJ and GDAL, which now ship with CSV files that we copy into Windows and MacOS binary packages (rgdal, sf, lwgeom). For now, if it helps, rgdal::make_EPSG() reads the EPSG CSV file shipped with PROJ into the R workspace as a data.frame. Roger
Specifically, is there any consolidated collection of SRS definitions in
R (either a data.frame or tibble or SQLite backed) that are being used
by geospatial packages that users can use too? If so, can you please
point me to it? If not, would it be worthwhile to have this
consolidated list/dataframe, maybe as part of data for one of the core
geospatial packages? Thanks in advance, Vijay
