Astronomy packages
by Joseph Wang 30 Mar '13

30 Mar '13

Just wanted to get some input from both Fedora astronomy and mageia about which astronomy related packages to package next. I'm working in audela. Also I'll be working on getting mesa as a rpm.

IRAF Spec files
by Joseph Wang 30 Mar '13

30 Mar '13

I've tweaked the IRAF spec files some more. They are in https://github.com/joequant/iraf in the debug branch under the rpm directory. The main changes involved setting up the environment variables to be a bit more robust. I've also done work on getting IRAF to work with gfortran. It's not working, but I've gotten it to compile, and I think I know what the main problem is. The trouble is that rpp generates code that looks like Integer Memi(1) Common /mem/ memd equivalence (memi, memd) The trouble is that in f90, the compiler optimizes out array overflows, so that this won't work to get a memory pointer. I tried a few workarounds, they work, but they aren't clean. The correct fix should be to generate code that looks like Integer, pointer:: memi memi = memd

IRAF RPM spec files
by Joseph Wang 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Here is the spec file and patch file that gave me a working cl prompt on mageia, and it should be rather easily portable to other RPM distros. The big issue is that there is a chicken/egg issue in which you have to build libVO to get xc and xc to get libVO, and I had to split up the build into a bootstrap and non-bootstrap section. It uses the system curl and f2c, and I'm trying to change the build so that it uses the system readline and expat.

Starlab
by Eric Christensen 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I currently maintain Starlab in EPEL5 and EPEL6. It has been killed off in Fedora due to an inability to build and after futzing with it for a bit tonight I understand the frustration. Is this something that should be in Fedora (as in, is it worth my time messing with it) or should I just try to maintain the EPEL versions until they run out? Anyone using this?

Another try at IRAF?
by Joseph Wang 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Anyone game for trying to package IRAF (again)? With 2.16 all of the licensing issues have been fixed. The build system is ancient but with github we might be able to hack away on that.

Target packages to RPMize
by Joseph Wang 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hi all, I was wondering what people think are the major packages that we should try to get into RPM's. I've been doing work in Mageia to generate astronomy related RPM's and since the rpm's are mostly interchangable between Fedora and Mageia, I'd like to coordinate work so that we get as much stuff working as possible (and so we all doing get killed by MacOSX). My background is mostly theoretical, so I'd be interested in finding out from the observers what are the major missing packages. In particular, it looks like IRAF has finally got all of the IP issues resolved so would it be worth packaging that now. The other thing is that I've worked on pyp2rpm which generates rpm's from the python repository and that seems to be working nicely. Also, what about CASA from nrao?

local patch for ds9 for Fedora
by Joseph Wang 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

If you are packaging DS9 for fedora, you might be interesting in these patches I wrote to package DS9 for Mageia. The main focus of the patches is to use the local tk/tcl which is good for many different reasons. They've been submitted upstream.
