* Package Name: stilts * Version: v3.0-7 * Upstream Author: Mark Taylor <m.b.tay...@bristol.ac.uk> * URL: http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/stilts/ * Programming Language: Java * License: GPL, GPL+Classpath, LGPL, Apache, CDDL, * Description: Astronomical Starlink Tables Infrastructure Library Tool Set Stilts (Starlink Tables Infrastructure Library Tool Set) is a command-line and scriptable interface for handling tables within the astronomical observatory. Stilts can handle and convert between a number of astronomical table formats, including FITS, ColFITS, VOTable, NASA CDF, ASCII, CSV/TSV/TST, Gaia DPAC GBIN (additional dependencies required), IPAC, and WDC; viz: http://www.star.bristol.ac.uk/~mbt/topcat/sun253/inFormats.html For packaging, we will need to add a '/usr/bin/stilts' wrapper: http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/stilts/sun256/sun256.html#stilts-cmd http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/stilts/sun256/sun256.html#invoke Which will probably contain something like: exec java -classpath topcat-lite.jar uk.ac.starlink.ttools.Stilts It is built upon the Starlink Tables Infrastructure Library Tool Set (STIL) and is the command-line counterpart to the graphical 'Topcat' application. From the wrapper command we can see the close relationship to Topcat, although hopefully more modularisation can be achieved so that only 'default-jre-headless' is required. In addition to the large dependency list shared with Topcat, a number of those dependencies in turn come from Starlink which has sub-modules with several licences. The various licences are documented by Upstream in: http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/stilts/LICENSE.txt and a fuller-audit will be required about the precise dependency relationship and corresponding licence compatilibity. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFXm3atc444tukM+iQRAp8tAKDgmwjDaLP/yL2fCYqYXhy1xXtcwACg4jmH Pi9EvgNjYQnZfp2AHnu/oeY= =OPUg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
