Minor point: the package name should not contain any upper case letters :-) 5.6.7. `Package' The name of the binary package. Package names must consist only of lower case letters (`a-z'), digits (`0-9'), plus (`+') and minus (`-') signs, and periods (`.'). They must be at least two characters long and must start with an alphanumeric character. - Jim Van Zandt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#385488: ITP: gpscorrelate -- correlates digital camera photos with GPS data filling EXIF fields
Stefano - Looks very close to a program I started writing at one point :-) The only changes I would suggest to the description are here: granularity) the photo as been taken, the GPS data are stored unmodified ^^ has ^ A few things I'd suggest: - There are times I am taking pictures intermittently and would rather run my GPS receiver only at those times (say, at each scenic overlook along the highway). In that case I would like the program to compare the times on the preceding and following track points. If they differ by less than T, then interpolate. If they differ by more than T, then use the location for the track point that is nearer in time. I should be able to set T in either a configuration file or on the command line. - The GPS can report time in UTC, but the camera may be set to local time. The user should be able to specify what time zone the camera is set for, or to ask the program to guess the zone based on the longitude. (Admittedly the EXIF time can be adjusted using jhead.) - I would like the option to store the location as a JPEG comment in addition to the EXIF header. Some viewers can show only the former. I seem to remember a web site that expected geotagging in the form of JPEG comments, but now I can't find it. - Jim Van Zandt Reply-To: Stefano Zacchiroli [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-From: Stefano Zacchiroli [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-To: debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org Resent-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED], stefano zacchiroli [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Stefano Zacchiroli [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 17:49:10 +0200 Resent-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Stefano Zacchiroli [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: gpscorrelate Version : 1.4.0 Upstream Author : Daniel Foote [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://freefoote.dview.net/linux_gpscorr.html * License : GPL Programming Lang: C, C++ Description : correlates digital photos with GPS data filling EXIF fields gpscorrelate fills EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) fields of digital photos related to GPS (Global Positioning System) information (e.g.: GPSLatitude, GPSLongitude, GPSAltitude, ...).

Bug#386034: ITP: astronomical-almanac -- astronomical almanac - calculate planet and star positions
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: James R. Van Zandt [EMAIL PROTECTED] This replaces the formerly proposed package aa. Package name: astronomical-almanac Version : 5.6 Upstream Author : Steve Moshier [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL : http://www.moshier.net/ License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : astronomical almanac - calculate planet and star positions The aa program computes the orbital positions of planetary bodies and performs rigorous coordinate reductions to apparent geocentric and topocentric place (local altitude and azimuth). It also reduces star catalogue positions given in either the FK4 or FK5 system. Data for the 57 navigational stars is included. Most of the algorithms employed are from The Astronomical Almanac (AA) published by the U.S. Government Printing Office. . The aa program follows the rigorous algorithms for reduction of celestial coordinates exactly as laid out in current editions of the Astronomical Almanac. The reduction to apparent geocentric place has been checked by a special version of the program (aa200) that takes planetary positions directly from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory DE200 numerical integration of the solar system. The results agree exactly with the Astronomical Almanac tables from 1987 onward (earlier Almanacs used slightly different reduction methods). . Certain computations, such as the correction for nutation, are not given explicitly in the AA but are referenced there. In these cases the program performs the full computations that are used to construct the Almanac tables (references are provided). .

Is possible (in the U.S) add legal restrictions to this stuff? It's possible to copyright a particular program that implements a free algorithm. Fortunately it is not a problem here, since Steve Moshier is willing to license his work. The Debian package of labplot includes his cephes library which he licensed under GPL.
