We have asked may times for volunteers to help us put all of those
scientific applications into SL. The only thing we ever get is "please
put in so.and.so". We do not get "Yes, I will help you put in these
scientific applications".
Ok, I'll bite :)
I've made IRAF and other astronomy apps rpms for el5. The repo is
in
http://cosmos.astro.uson.mx/~favilac/downloads/IRAF/el5/
Just install this file and you are good to go:
astro-uson.repo-1.0-1.el5.uson.noarch.rpm
The problem of making this kind of rpms, are dependencies.
When I made the repo, i had to build some python apps that weren't
on the official repos, or in rpmforge but now they are starting to
appear in them, so there's a little chance of problems down the road from
cross-dependencies.
I'll try to add more apps later, but i won't give an ETA on it ;)
