Bug#341188: ITP: libwcs -- FITS world coordinate system support library
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: libwcs Version : 4.2 Upstream Author : Mark R. Calabretta [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/mcalabre/WCS/ * License : GPL Description : FITS world coordinate system support library Please critique my understanding of library packaging (copy me in responses). Upstream doesn't (yet!) build a shared library, so it seems the burden lies on me to implement that support. But wcslib is used by 2 of my packages (saods9 and sextractor), and seems to provide a highly specialized, yet readily accessible and well-documented API, which I can easily see being useful in my own projects. WCSLIB is a C library, supplied with a full set of Fortran wrappers, that implements the World Coordinate System (WCS) convention in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System). It also includes a PGPLOT-based routine, PGSBOX, for drawing general curvilinear coordinate graticules. The FITS data format is widely used within the international astronomical community, from the radio to gamma-ray regimes, for data interchange and archive, and also increasingly as an online format. It is described in Definition of The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS), Hanisch, R.J., Farris, A., Greisen, E.W., et al. 2001, AA, 376, 359 which formalizes NOST 100-2.0, a document produced by the NASA/Science Office of Standards and Technology, see http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: saods9 Version : 3.0.3 Upstream Author : William Joye [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://hea-www.harvard.edu/RD/ds9/ * License : GPL2 Description : astronomical image tool DS9 is an application for astronomical imaging and data visualization. . DS9 is the modern imtool used by astronomers. It is most distinguished by its support for displaying 16 bit greyscale images (such as FITS). Most tools (such as GIMP and Photoshop) will read an approximation to such files, and only store the most significant 8 bits of data. DS9 works in full precision, and uses various display parameters to map input data of high dynamic-range such as to be displayed on the screen. . Available parameters include: brightness, contrast, false color, and nonlinear input mapping (such as logarithm, square root, square, etc.) . Although it may be useful in other fields, DS9 includes a fair number of features specific to astronomy. There is an astronomical name resolver which allows a lookup of an arbitrary named object to its coordinates. Given the coordinates of a field, online archive servers may be queried, and an image retrieved. DS9 thusly implements a preliminary Virtual Observatory. . DS9 is entirely controllable from external programs (XPA), which simplifies complex tasks such as realtime or batch analysis. . Images may be aligned by their WCS (World Coordinate System) keywords, and then blinked to search for moving objects. .

I'm not even sure if its appropriate for inclusion in Debian. I will be keeping a copy in my personal repository, along with all the other astronomy software.

Bug#266738: ITP: netreg -- Network registration to provide a MAC to IP to username mapping
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: netreg Version : Debian Upstream Author : Various * URL : southwestern, CMU, sourceforge, etc * License : GPL Description : Network registration to provide a MAC to IP to username mapping Hi all, I'm interested in providing a network registration package for Debian. There are various upstream implementations, and I'm not sure there's a right one for Debian. Its likely that a Debian-specific package is appropriate. This package would mostly be some perl glue which Recommends: webserver, dhcpd. For the various upstream versions, try googling for netreg site:edu. By the way, I'm not in a position to implement this right now, so its a long term project. If someone else is in a better position than I, feel free to hijack this. Also, if you have access to the equipment necessary to implement and test this, I'd be glad to offer my time. Specifically, netreg depends on the ability to restrict network access of unregistered hosts to the registration machine[s]. I think this is something that many would find very attrative were it offered for Debian. Imagine telling a school that they could aptitude install netreg and have it scan student machines for the worm of the week before allowing access. And, hey, we can use samba to pop up a MessageBox(You have a worm. Your computer is quaranteened. Please call IT at x6935.); Cheers, Justin
