Yorick package
by Cesar Enrique Garcia Dabo 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi, Yorick (http://dhmunro.github.io/yorick-doc/) is a programming language which is often used in astronomy, specially in the interferometric world. I wonder if there are any plans to include yorick in Fedora at some point. Its build system is not autotools based. Typing "make install" creates a directory called "relocate" which is not very FHS friendly, but the sources already include a yorick.spec (under distribs/) that I guess can be used as a starting point. Regards, Enrique

Discussion on Astronomy spin
by Christian Dersch 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

Hello Fedora astronomers :) As I mentioned some time ago I want to create an Astronomy Spin. My target would be Fedora 23, I think there isn't enough time left for an official inclusion in 22. I created a wiki page https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/AstroSpinDiscussion for discussion, especially on collection of packages. Please comment :) Greetings Christian

IRAF
by Joseph Wang 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Great to hear that someone has gotten IRAF to work. Unfortunately while I've been able to get the IRAF rpm's working, I haven't been able to do any other work on it. The problem is that the maintainers of IRAF have this odd refusal to put IRAF into a version control system, and without having some sort of version control, it's pretty much impossible to coordinate development. I don't care what version control system that they use, but they some reluctant to use any version control. I have a version of IRAF on github https://github.com/joequant/iraf But it is missing the 2.16.1 patches, and I don't see how I can incorporate 2.16.1 without version control. Either someone needs to convince the maintainers to have an official tree, or someone needs to create a fork of IRAF that is on some version control system. They are very welcome to use my github tree. I tried gently getting the IRAF maintainers to put their stuff into version control, but I gave up after it seem to be going nowhere.

Plans for 2015
by Christian Dersch 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

Hi Fedora astronomers, just want to start a discussion about our work in next year :) My plans: - Astronomy Spin (based on KDE Live due to their nice apps like KStars), partly done - more complete set of INDI drivers (almost done, just some disussions on license cleanup with upstream left) - Astronomy Badge (to have some kind of identifying symbol) - Refresh our wiki pages (started) - Maybe IRC Meetings? So, what are your plans? :) Greetings, Christian
