Hello Paul, many thanks for your reply!

Do you refer at the embedded (vendorized AFAICS) copy of libastro? It might be better to look at one of the other python libraries for sunset/sunrise calculation. There are a few, I suggest doing some web searching. Yes, but I'm also interested in the orbital routines provided :) You can compute, for example, the next supermoon in coincidence of a full moon. python-pyephem does more than that though and might be useful generally for Debian Science stuff. I'm fine joining the Debian Science Team :) Kind regards, -- Daniele Tricoli 'Eriol' http://mornie.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Hello Paul, [CCing Andreas to get his opinion] On Saturday 13 April 2013 18:13:36 you wrote: I would like to schedule some cron jobs relative to the time of sunset and sunrise at my current location, having this package in Debian would allow me to do that. I will package it! I want to do something similar to you. :) I have only one doubt: I'm a member of the DPMT, but this package maybe is more suitable under the umbrella of the Debian Science Team. If it's so, I will be happy to join the Debian Science Team and maintain python-pyephem under the umbrella of Debian Science Team. Andreas what do you suggest?
