There was a github info on the skyfield replacement for pyephem.
I can't find the answers to a few questions:
a) when skyfield is added, does it sniff through all the *.conf files in
the root of the weewx-data and insert the line that enables it to be run
ahead of pyephem, or only the weewx.conf file in the weewx-data
directory; of concern if there are several weewx configs for those of us
running a couple of types of stations.
b) If those config files are modified, there is the implication at least
in the FAQ that the whole installation of Skyfield needs to be run
again, which seems a bit odd but lends credence to the idea that the
installation of it does look through and modify the files.
c) Is there any way of seeing if skyfield is doing the calculations, or
if pyephem is? The notes indicate that if installed, skyfield will be
tried first, then fall back to pyephem.
d) If at this point skyfield is the preferred option going forward and
will have not only more accuracy (I really don't need it but seems like
a good thing) along with an ephemeris which will be updated, maybe it
is a worthwhile thing to get a new install of my whole RaspPi system and
try to remove pyephem? Maybe this isn't even possible, and my RaspOS
skills are rudimentary for knowing if this is a worthwhile thing.
e) while I'm asking, there were implications that Trixie broke a few
things by imposing a higher level of security, so I was happy to have my
install just working and never upgraded to that version. Is there still
some parts of the whole WeeWx ensemble which isn't happy with Trixie, or
have those problems (if they existed for ordinary users) been taken care
of in WeeWx 5.4?
thx. Dale
