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?

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
