Description: The NOVAS C/C++ astrometry library, made better
Hi,
I am the maintainer of SuperNOVAS, a C/C++ astrometry library. It is a
fork of the Naval Observatory Vector Astrometry Software (NOVAS)
package. It provides bug fixes, many improvements, and online
documentation, and is focused on improving usability and promoting best
practices, all the while also maintaining 100% API compatibility with
the upstream NOVAS C library (version 3.10).
I was prompted to package the library by Ole Streicher (DebianAstro).
The source code and releases are hosted on GitHub:
https://github.com/Smithsonian/SuperNOVAS
And, you can find more information on the library (including API
documentation) on the SuperNOVAS pages at:
https://smithsonian.github.io/SuperNOVAS/
The library is published with no licensing restrictions (i.e. under the
'Unlicense').
I hope we can package it for Debian.
-- Attila
