Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : aips Version : 20041029 Upstream Author : NRAO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/aips/ * License : GPL Description : Astronomical Image Processing System from NRAO
The Astronomical Image Processing System is a software package for calibration, data analysis, image display, plotting, and a variety of ancillary tasks on Astronomical Data. It comes from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. It is primarily for Radio Astronomy. . Homepage: http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/aips/ Developers, this is a very large package. 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. At the moment I'm not even sure how large; it is meant to keep all the source code along with the executables (and sync via cvs every night via cron..). The *source* targzball is 67M at 69% compression. But now I have to come up with a way to isolate the runtime files from the install files (unfortunately not disjoint). (The Debian version will not do the nightly CVS thing, btw). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (101, 'testing'), (99, 'unstable'), (9, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-rc1 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
