Right, automatism of a telescope itself isn't a big problem as you just pointed because it's accepting standard commands thought serial console. CCD cameras are the tricky part, I know that PhotoMetrics [1] CCD cameras has the driver directly in kernel, however I'm not aware of any application for its management and unfortunately I can't try 'cause I don't have any. What typo of CCD camera do you have? I'm wondering how hard is to pass the review process for kernel patches :) What I've seen in practice with linux was an USB webcam on a scope with GOTO rotation using serial port. In other words you will adjust your location using the scope itself and after you shot your picture using USB control or even video4linux. Any other experiences from the list?

I'm going to have to go to a group dedicated to Kstars. There is some documentation on supported hardware, but i need to find people who have actually done it: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdeedu/kstars/indi.html When I had access to a telescope, I was able to stitch something together using my Nikon DSLR snapping pictures with gphoto. But it wasn't optimal because I had a very small Meade scope and the camera was not weighted nor shaped to work in that situation. I'd like to be able to present a specific package of off-the-shelf hardware that would work for backyard astronomy with a Fedora Astronomy image and then start beating the drum to get other hardware supported upstream in the kernel. I'm sort of surprised that kstars doesn't support the retail DSLR CCD cameras that gphoto does. I'm in a situation now where I maybe helping a HS teacher put together a robotic observatory. I want to give him the option of setting it up using Fedora, and then giving his students livecds such that they can control the system remotely. From reading the Kstars pages, it should have the necessary bits to integrate the basics if I can find at least one listed CCD that has native linux support, the Apogee USB units listed may only need libusb and not a wacky kernel driver. Everything else you want to control, like a filter wheel or even the dome opening can be done via some simple DYI serial communications scripts if need be (pyserial!!!!!) But I don't want to DYI the scope and the CCD if I can avoid it. I'd like to be able to present Kstars as the basic interface, since it saves captures as FITS files, when can then be processes by any post-processor that understands FITS files. -jef From spot at fedoraproject.org Tue Dec 18 14:45:12 2007 From: spot at fedoraproject.org (Tom Callaway) Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:45:12 -0500 Subject: [fedora-astronomy] rpms/nightfall - New directory Message-ID: <200712181445.lBIEjCH3002771@cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com> Author: spot Update of /cvs/extras/rpms/nightfall In directory cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com:/home/fedora/spot/CVSROOT/admin/tmpcvsAm2732/rpms/nightfall Log Message: Directory /cvs/extras/rpms/nightfall added to the repository From spot at fedoraproject.org Tue Dec 18 14:45:18 2007 From: spot at fedoraproject.org (Tom Callaway) Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:45:18 -0500 Subject: [fedora-astronomy] rpms/nightfall/devel - New directory Message-ID: <200712181445.lBIEjIbp002786@cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com> Author: spot Update of /cvs/extras/rpms/nightfall/devel In directory cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com:/home/fedora/spot/CVSROOT/admin/tmpcvsAm2732/rpms/nightfall/devel Log Message: Directory /cvs/extras/rpms/nightfall/devel added to the repository From spot at fedoraproject.org Tue Dec 18 14:45:21 2007 From: spot at fedoraproject.org (Tom Callaway) Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:45:21 -0500 Subject: [fedora-astronomy] rpms/nightfall Makefile, NONE, 1.1 import.log, NONE, 1.1 Message-ID: <200712181445.lBIEjLXC002812@cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com> Author: spot Update of /cvs/extras/rpms/nightfall In directory cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com:/home/fedora/spot/CVSROOT/admin/tmpcvsAm2732/rpms/nightfall Added Files: Makefile import.log Log Message: Setup of module nightfall --- NEW FILE Makefile --- # Top level Makefile for module nightfall all : CVS/Root common-update @cvs update common-update : common @cd common && cvs update common : CVS/Root @cvs checkout common CVS/Root : @echo "ERROR: This does not look like a CVS checkout" && exit 1 clean : @find . -type f -name *~ -exec rm -fv {} \; --- NEW FILE import.log --- From spot at fedoraproject.org Tue Dec 18 14:45:29 2007 From: spot at fedoraproject.org (Tom Callaway) Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:45:29 -0500 Subject: [fedora-astronomy] rpms/nightfall/devel .cvsignore, NONE, 1.1 Makefile, NONE, 1.1 sources, NONE, 1.1 Message-ID: <200712181445.lBIEjTkl002830@cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com> Author: spot Update of /cvs/extras/rpms/nightfall/devel In directory cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com:/home/fedora/spot/CVSROOT/admin/tmpcvsAm2732/rpms/nightfall/devel Added Files: .cvsignore Makefile sources Log Message: Setup of module nightfall --- NEW FILE .cvsignore --- --- NEW FILE Makefile --- # Makefile for source rpm: nightfall # $Id: Makefile,v 1.1 2007/12/18 14:45:21 spot Exp $ NAME := nightfall SPECFILE = $(firstword $(wildcard *.spec)) define find-makefile-common for d in common ../common ../../common ; do if [ -f $$d/Makefile.common ] ; then if [ -f $$d/CVS/Root -a -w $$/Makefile.common ] ; then cd $$d ; cvs -Q update ; fi ; echo "$$d/Makefile.common" ; break ; fi ; done endef MAKEFILE_COMMON := $(shell $(find-makefile-common)) ifeq ($(MAKEFILE_COMMON),) # attept a checkout define checkout-makefile-common test -f CVS/Root && { cvs -Q -d $$(cat CVS/Root) checkout common && echo "common/Makefile.common" ; } || { echo "ERROR: I can't figure out how to checkout the 'common' module." ; exit -1 ; } >&2 endef MAKEFILE_COMMON := $(shell $(checkout-makefile-common)) endif include $(MAKEFILE_COMMON) --- NEW FILE sources --- From rfactory at theriver.com Wed Dec 19 01:25:21 2007 From: rfactory at theriver.com (The Random Factory) Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 18:25:21 -0700 Subject: [fedora-astronomy] Re: Apogee CCD drivers Message-ID: <47687301.6060001@theriver.com> HI All, I maintain the Apogee Linux (and OS X) drivers for Apogee's range of ccd cameras.

Hardware which requires kernel patches or out of tree modules makes things difficult for what we are ultimately shooting for here.

We'd like to get things to the point (hopefully by the release of Fedora 9) where we can put a Fedora livecd out there with a set of useful open source tools. I'd personally like to be able to say... If you have telescope X and CCD Y, then you'll be able setup a basic robotic telescope in your backyard running from our liveCD (though the dream of course is to be able to network these things together so people can share). I really really need poke my head into upstream Kstars development and see whats going on in terms of supporting off the shelf dslr cameras. You don't need astronomical CCD's to get your feet wet, it'd be nice if Kstars would interface with the gphoto stack so you could get reasonably good control of a canon or nikon dslr through usb to use for backyard setups. -jef From mmahut at fedoraproject.org Thu Dec 27 09:43:36 2007 From: mmahut at fedoraproject.org (Marek Mahut) Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2007 04:43:36 -0500 Subject: [fedora-astronomy] rpms/nightfall/devel nightfall-1.62-fixmakefile.patch, NONE, 1.1 nightfall.desktop, NONE, 1.1 nightfall.spec, NONE, 1.1 .cvsignore, 1.1, 1.2 sources, 1.1, 1.2 Message-ID: <200712270943.lBR9ha0P006390@cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com> Author: mmahut Update of /cvs/pkgs/rpms/nightfall/devel In directory cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com:/tmp/cvs-serv6325/devel Modified Files: .cvsignore sources Added Files: nightfall-1.62-fixmakefile.patch nightfall.desktop nightfall.spec Log Message: Initial import. nightfall-1.62-fixmakefile.patch: --- NEW FILE nightfall-1.62-fixmakefile.patch --- diff -Naur ./nightfall-1.62-upstream/Makefile.in ./nightfall-1.62/Makefile.in --- ./nightfall-1.62-upstream/Makefile.in 2007-12-03 22:06:27.000000000 +0100 +++ ./nightfall-1.62/Makefile.in 2007-12-03 22:07:00.000000000 +0100 @@ -57,7 +57,7 @@ AUTOHEADER = @AUTOHEADER@ INSTALL = @INSTALL@ -INSTALL_PROGRAM = @INSTALL_PROGRAM@ -s +INSTALL_PROGRAM = @INSTALL_PROGRAM@ INSTALL_DATA = @INSTALL_DATA@ INSTALL_SCRIPT = @INSTALL_SCRIPT@ transform = @program_transform_name@ --- NEW FILE nightfall.desktop --- [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Nightfall Comment=Nightfall is an astronomy application for emulation of eclipsing stars Exec=/usr/bin/nightfall -U Icon=/usr/share/nightfall/pixmaps/gnome-nightfall.png Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Education;Science;Astronomy; --- NEW FILE nightfall.spec --- Name: nightfall Version: 1.62 Release: 2%{?dist} Summary: Nightfall is an astronomy application for emulation of eclipsing stars License: GPLv2+ Group: Applications/Engineering URL: http://www.hs.uni-hamburg.de/DE/Ins/Per/Wichmann/Nightfall.html Source0: http://www.la-samhna.de/%{name}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz Source1: nightfall.desktop Patch0: nightfall-1.62-fixmakefile.patch BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) BuildRequires: gtk2-devel, desktop-file-utils Requires: gnuplot %description Nightfall is an astronomy application for fun, education, and science.

Who can help? 14:53 marek I need help of developers packaging software from our wishlist https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/Packages/Proposed 14:53 marek if you do, please cc fedora-astronomy-list on the review request or let me know 14:54 marek there are 48 packages waiting in proposed list 14:54 marek I guess at least half of it is old and unmaintained, so we need to clean up the list 14:55 marek sergiopr, Telimektar how many packages could you take from that list? 14:55 marek it's also ok to only make package and I will take full responsiblity of maintaining it 14:55 Telimektar i'm actually learning packaging and i'm awaiting for sponsor 14:55 marek just like did lkundrak (thanks to him) 14:56 sergiopr I don't have so much time ATM, but I'm working on an ESO-MIDAS package 14:56 marek Telimektar: oh nice, this is great occasion for you -- you can make packages that you can show to your sponsor after 14:56 marek Telimektar: I suggests you do to about 5 packages and about 5 review request and ask someone to sponsor you, if you will have hard to find someone let me know 14:57 marek sergiopr: ok, good -- can I add your named with ESO-MIDAS? 14:57 marek sergiopr: you already did ds9, which is very respectful =) 14:57 sergiopr It was a lot of work :) 14:58 marek I saw the rpm, very good work! 14:58 sergiopr I'm adding my name to eso midas in the package list 14:58 marek sergiopr: ok thank you 14:58 Telimektar If there's easy to package software, please tell me 14:58 marek Telimektar: check the list, I'm sure that there's something easy to do 14:59 marek Telimektar: but your sponsor will be looking at more difficult packages, to be sure you know how to package in right way :) 15:00 marek ok, if no other on-topic issues, let's move 15:00 marek changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora Astronomy SIG -- Should we use a specific artwork for the spin? Or only a wallpaper? 15:00 marek this is an interesting topic 15:01 marek later, I would like to ask our great art team to create a wallpaper for us along with a icon 15:01 marek as I would have a menu called "Astronomy" in the spin 15:01 Telimektar It's necessary I think 15:01 marek and also a little logo :) 15:02 marek Telimektar: I think too, it's a good marketing ;) 15:02 Telimektar to help people to see what's specific to this spin 15:02 Telimektar As wallpaper, i have noticed the work make on this page but was refused for F8 15:03 marek I was thinking about a photo of nebula or so 15:03 Telimektar http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F8theme-moon 15:03 marek Telimektar: yes, this is nice, but it's only a scratch 15:03 marek do we have a wallpaper of that? 15:03 G_ > [n=njones at wikipedia/NigelJ] joins #fedora-meeting 15:04 sergiopr very nice artwork 15:04 Telimektar it's only a mockup but i'm sur that the former designer will be happy to work on it 15:04 marek we will ask art team if they can include our wallpaper by default in Fedora 9 15:04 Telimektar ok 15:04 marek so we don't have to make separate package for that 15:04 marek Telimektar: ok, I will contact the designer to ask if he can send us the wallpaper 15:04 Telimektar so what's the work to be done on that point ? 15:05 marek I think it can wait months or two 15:05 marek the work is to, 15:05 marek 1) mail art team and kindly asking for an icon and a logo 15:06 marek 2) ask former designer if he likes to send us the wallpaper, if so let's ask art team to include the wallpaper in Fedora 9 15:06 Telimektar ok 15:06 Telimektar who can take it in charge ? 15:07 marek I can take care of it 15:07 Telimektar ok 15:07 marek I will mail the designer of that theme today 15:07 marek but I'll wait some time to contact art team 15:07 marek ok, next topic? 15:08 Telimektar y 15:08 marek changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora Astronomy SIG -- Scheduling the spin building. 15:08 marek my plan is: 15:09 marek 1) package as much as good software possible 15:09 marek 2) package astronomy-menu -- something like games-menu that will regroup all our applications under nice "Astronomy" menu 15:09 marek it's a simple xml file 15:09 marek 3) package astronomy-bookmarks -- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/Bookmarks 15:10 marek - we won't package art work, as the plan is to include it Fedora 9 default artwork package 15:10 marek 4) request project on fedorahosted.org, cvs using trac 15:11 marek there we can star working on the kickstart file that will become our live cd 15:11 Telimektar Is there any date to perform those steps ? 15:11 f13 fedorahosted doesn't support cvs 15:11 marek f13: svn then =) 15:12 f13 if you have to... 15:12 marek (I'm sure Jesse loves GIT) ;) 15:12 marek Telimektar: no not yet, I think the hard work is the point 1) 15:12 marek other can be done in few days 15:13 Telimektar ok 15:13 marek I would like to have everything ready by first of april 15:13 marek _and_ I will be working to have this spin for Fedora 10 too 15:13 marek there are a lot of things to improve 15:13 marek CCD support, telescope communication support 15:14 Telimektar upstream work would be welcome for moste of these software I think 15:14 marek Telimektar: exactly 15:14 marek and, I was in touch with scope vendor bresser, there is a possibility they include our Live CD with their scope for free 15:14 marek if everything's ok 15:15 Telimektar good job marek 15:15 marek but I plan this for Fedora 10, it will be too early for Fedora 9 15:15 marek also, webcam support! 15:15 marek I had in mind system-config-webcam :) 15:15 sergiopr cool 15:16 Telimektar lot of work in perspective 15:16 marek I'm pretty sure we will find other people to help us 15:16 marek for example sergio's students =) he can give it as homework for them ;) 15:16 marek (kidding) 15:17 sergiopr I'm afraid I don't have students :( 15:17 marek sergiopr: ok, so colleagues ;) 15:17 sergiopr Bur perhaps I can cheat my collegues' students :) 15:17 marek ok I feel like we are reaching the free discussion :) 15:18 marek changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Fedora Astronomy SIG -- Free discussion, mindstorming 15:18 marek sergiopr: good idea ;) 15:18 marek next year I'm starting my studies of astrophysics at scientific university in Brno (sci.muni.cz) 15:18 marek so I could push something too 15:18 sergiopr marek, very good, I told it's never too late 15:18 Telimektar question : the spin will use kde or gnome ? 15:19 marek sergiopr: I took your word ;) 15:19 marek Telimektar: gnome I think, it's the easier way 15:19 marek I have no experiance with KDE 15:20 sergiopr How many GUI applications have we got? 15:20 marek https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/Packages 15:20 marek for the moment I see only one console based 15:20 marek others (about 14?) are GUI 15:21 sergiopr And what widget library are they using? ds9, for example, is tcl, so I doesn't matter if the spin is gnome or kde-based 15:22 Telimektar i'm afraid of the use of too muche libs 15:22 Telimektar the RAM won't like ti 15:22 Telimektar it* 15:22 marek yes 15:22 marek I'm gnome user and I think for standard tasks it's ok 15:23 marek Telimektar, sergiopr do you prefere KDE? 15:23 sergiopr marek, I prefer gnome 15:23 Telimektar I'm a kde user but I do not care, I think we should choose performance 15:24 Telimektar and that a light environment like xfce can also be a good choice 15:25 marek I tried the Fedora live cd and gnome has been pretty fast on usb stick/1Ghz/256M ram 15:25 Telimektar personnaly it's the loading of skymap that's i'm afraid from 15:26 marek from my point of view, we should concentrate more on packages first and discuss this later 15:26 marek Telimektar: ok, we can do some test when everything is ready 15:26 Telimektar of course 15:26 marek and after choose the desktop env. 15:28 marek ok, so tasks: 15:28 marek marek -- find out more about that wallpaper from former author and contact ART team + standard packaging 15:29 marek Telimektar -- try to make few packages, so that you can get cvsextras, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/Packages/Proposed 15:30 marek sergiopr -- if some free time, try to finish ESO-MIDAS 15:30 marek everybody -- collect some cool links for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/Bookmarks 15:30 sergiopr I'm adding a few things right now 15:31 marek everybody -- packages! packages! packages! :) not only creating but also, try to find some other neat software that would be nice to have in Fedora 15:31 Telimektar ok 15:31 sergiopr ok 15:31 marek anything else you would like to discuss? 15:32 Telimektar has the fesco decided if spins are a feature ? 15:32 marek Telimektar: last time I've checked no 15:32 Telimektar ok 15:33 marek but I prefere to keep it as project, as future developement is pretty sure 15:33 marek so we can go on with Fedora 10, 11, 12 ... 46... :) 15:33 Telimektar and on and on 15:33 marek =) 15:34 Telimektar also can we use the #fedora-astronomy to discuss (when not in meeting ) 15:34 marek actually, I'm on ##astronomy channel 15:34 marek there are nice people there :) 15:35 Telimektar it's ok for me 15:35 sergiopr And for me also 15:35 marek ok good 15:36 marek so next meeting is fixed on Friday, January 11, 2008 at 14:00:00 UTC time 15:36 marek is it ok too? 15:36 Telimektar ok too 15:36 sergiopr Ok too 15:37 marek ok, thank you guys for coming and have a nice day! 15:37 Telimektar you too :) 15:37 sergiopr And a happy new year! :) 15:37 marek ;) 15:38 Telimektar with ful of free software 15:38 marek changed the topic of #fedora-meeting to: Channel is used by various Fedora groups and committees for their regular meetings Note that meetings often get logged | For questions about using Fedora please ask in #fedora | see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/FedoraMeetingChannel 15:38 sergiopr < [n=sergiopr at 89.7.173.131] quits ["Leaving."] 15:38 Telimektar < [n=Telimekt at ALyon-254-1-100-157.w86-209.abo.wanadoo.fr] leaves #fedora-meeting ["Fedora Project wants YOU !"] 15:38 ivazquez < [n=ivazquez at fedora/ignacio] quits [Success] -- Marek Mahut https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/ Fedora Project http://www.jamendo.com/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I first learned of this SIG Saturday; very cool. I have downloaded and have read the archives of the mailing list (nothing like getting a little history, even if that isn't but a month long) and I plan on attending the meeting on the 11th, unless something work related comes up. By way of introductions, I am CIO at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI), which is one of the few observatories with both optical and radio capabilities. We currently have several optical instruments, from a pair of solar telescopes with Ethernet video webcams to a 16 inch DFM with an Apogee Ethernet CCD, and we have four dish-type radio instruments: two 26 meter X-Y mounted prime focus parabolics good up to 12-14GHz; a 12.2 meter prime focus parabolic good to 26-30GHz; and a 4.6 meter prime focus parabolic good up to the low millimeter range. We also have a few HF arrays for use with the Radio Jove program, observing the sun and Jupiter in the 20-28 MHz band. We also host another radio instrument from Virginia Tech; see http://www.ece.vt.edu/swe/eta/ for lots and lots of details on this exciting instrument. The 12.2 meter is in need of major work, and is mothballed pending funding. The two 26 meter telescopes are in the midst of drive and feed upgrades; DFM Engineering is performing the drive upgrades (this is the second drive upgrade on these telescopes that they've done for us; this gets us 27 bit absolute encoders and Ethernet connectivity for control and telemetry); the feeds are being upgraded to thermally stabilized dual, coaxial 2.4GHz and 8.5GHz for extreme scattering event research as an interferometer, funded through an NSF MRI grant. Also, PARI is collaborating with Furman University Astronomer Dr. David Moffett on pulsar monitoring research in the 318MHz band; the instrument is currently off-line, but the pulsar radiometer backend is on Linux (currently an older Fedora). The 4.6 meter Andrew parabolic is in active use for our School of Galactic Radio Astronomy educational program, and has a 1.42GHz hydrogen RF chain and spectrometer. This telescope is currently internet controllable through a Java applet in-browser (the applet doesn't work with the F8 java stack, unfortunately), and with a custom java servlet backend. The SGRA program teaches middle school teachers how run the telescope remotely, how to perform doppler spectroscopy to determine the galactic rotational characteristics, and how to teach their classes how to do this. The telescope has a smiley face painted on it (long story), so it is nicknamed 'Smiley' for obvious reasons. Smiley also gets used for solar astronomy at 1.4GHz (we have a program, called Space Science Lab, that teaches high school sophomores and juniors, in a one week on-site seminar setting, all about solar astronomy, from optical all the way down to 20MHz radio, and Smiley is a part of that. In the SSL program, the students spend one week on site, learning astronomy, radio astronomy, basic electronics, soldering, troubleshooting, etc: they build a Radio Jove kit radiometer, and if they don't have their own PC, we give them one with the require software preloaded; out of 57 kits attempted at this point, 56 have been successfully constructed within the one week seminar; the 57th kit had a bad PC board). We have a number of other programs; you can see the breadth of them on our website at www.pari.edu Personally, I have run Red Hat and Fedora Linux since Red Hat Linux 4.1 in 1997. I was the PostgreSQL Global Development Group's RPM maintainer from 1999 through 2004 (my base spec file is still in RHEL4), when I passed the maintainership to Devrim Gunduz, as personal reasons prevented me from doing the builds in a timely fashion at that time. Since then, of course, automated buildsystems have come of age, and packaging is a much simpler process than it was then. On the subject of packages, I see in the rejected packages list IRAF. Getting permission from UCAR to distribute NCAR as a part of Fedora would be killer, as IRAF is de rigeur for optical astronomy. For radio astronomy, getting the former AIPS and AIPS++ packages, as well as the currently maintained CASA packages, in Fedora would be killer, as that is pretty much required for single dish and interferometer imagery in radio astronomy. Also, GNUradio has an astronomy section; with a Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) with a DBRX daughterboard, and a medium-sized dish (2-4 meters) useful 1.4GHz radio astronomy can be done. GNUradio requires wx, and the radio astronomy examples require PyEphem; getting PyEphem in Fedora would be great in general for astronomy, as PyEphem does all the interesting calculations, including the absolutely required (for radio astronomy) local standard of rest. Having GNUradio packages (it's in Debian already) would be great (I might be able to do these if no one else does them). In any case, it's great to see this SIG form, and I look forward to being able to help in some fashion. I see several names I recognize here; Jef, spot, in particular.

Yes, Smooge, you're one of the ones I recognize, having seen you around for several years on the lists.... > Wow.. that seems like a lot of stuff added since 1994.. or better > advertised. Yes, we've added a lot. The place was pretty empty when PARI took over the site. Getting ready to add more, too....getting the OC3 last April was a serious boon to our credibility. Getting it extended through March 2010 was even better. > What are the licenses for AIPS? I havent looked at it since I think > early 1990s (or I am thinking of a different project..

The USRP with DBRX works pretty good for hydrogen spectroscopy; join the GNUradio lists, and ask for Marcus Leech to find out more about its use in radio astronomy (he's the author of the radio astronomy GNUradio samples). -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu From mmahut at fedoraproject.org Mon Dec 31 22:41:53 2007 From: mmahut at fedoraproject.org (Marek Mahut) Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2007 17:41:53 -0500 Subject: [fedora-astronomy] rpms/nexcontrol/devel nexcontrol.spec, NONE, 1.1 .cvsignore, 1.1, 1.2 sources, 1.1, 1.2 Message-ID: <200712312241.lBVMfrwD008008@cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com> Author: mmahut Update of /cvs/pkgs/rpms/nexcontrol/devel In directory cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com:/tmp/cvs-serv7982/devel Modified Files: .cvsignore sources Added Files: nexcontrol.spec Log Message: Initial import --- NEW FILE nexcontrol.spec --- Name: nexcontrol Version: 0.2 Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: Software to control your Celestron NexStar Telescope License: GPLv2+ Group: Applications/Communications URL: http://www.mybrainhurts.com/projects/nexcontrol/ Source0: http://www.mybrainhurts.com/projects/nexcontrol/%{name}.tar.gz BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) BuildArch: noarch %description NexControl is a perl code to interface with the NexStar series of scopes from Celestron. %prep %setup -q %build %install rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT install -Dpm 755 nexcontrol.pl $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/nexcontrol %clean rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %files %defattr(-,root,root,-) %doc LICENSE README %{_bindir}/nexcontrol %changelog * Mon Dec 31 2007 Marek Mahut - 0.2-1 - Initial release.
