From wrolf at wrolf.net Tue Jan 1 19:51:43 2008 From: wrolf at wrolf.net (Wrolf Courtney) Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2008 14:51:43 -0500 Subject: [fedora-astronomy] kdeedu vs. kstars RPM Message-ID: <1199217103.2963.19.camel@turing.home.wrolf.net> Hello everyone. Trying to put together a live USB thumbdrive with a set of astronomy packages for casual user (naked eye or binoculars, look at Mars directly overhead/phase of moon for camping trip/etc.). I eventually realized that with xephem out due to licensing, I needed KStars, which in Fedora is part of the kdeedu RPM. So to have an Astronomy spin, we have to drag in KLatin, Konqueror, etc. Does not seem right. Can we have just a kstars RPM, like in other distros? Perhaps the kdeedu rpm could have a dependency on a kstars RPM? Otherwise the Astronomy spin is doomed to always have khangman. Does every astronomer require Hangman on their desk? See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml for the same issue in Gentoo and their solution.

I've just talked about this issue today. kdeedu package will be slitted, but only after KDE4. I agree that this needs to be resolved, we won't pull extra mega of stuff with only kstars needed. Putting Than, the KDE maintainer, in CC. I hope he responds to this message. > See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml for the same > issue in Gentoo and their solution. > > Wrolf -- Marek Mahut https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Astronomy/ Fedora Project http://www.jamendo.com/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I grabbed it a little while ago. PyEphem shouldn't be hard, either. Depending upon how the rest of this week goes, I might take a crack at it by the end of the week. > Please, don't hesitate to come to our next meeting, so we can discuss > what Fedora do for pari.edu. I appreciate the great attitude! But I will, as a long time Fedora user, also see what PARI can do for Fedora. I would be willing, for sure, to provide mirror space and bandwidth for an Astronomy spin, although I can't commit right now to a full Fedora mirror (and the bandwidth usage that entails). Got 100Mb/s to the Internet and I2, and 40+TB of disk. Well, this one I'll have to admit; I _am_ an IRC newbie. Never had the need before to do IRC; guess I have some stuff to learn. Can't be much more difficult than learning how to run a CNews site in 1991 was.....

It just cropped up now, and so I wont be able to be in the meeting. Sorry! I did have something to say about BOINC packaging. A wannabe Fedora contributer wants to package BOINC too, and I have decided to merge my progress with his and then let him submit the package for review. This would get us a new contributor and take the BOINC burden off my shoulder -- I was forced into BOINC since that was an absolute necessity for Einstein at GNOME. Will keep you posted as things move on.
