Just an update. I've been told on astrobetter that a lot of work has<br>
been done in<br>
making IRAF easier to build from source in 2.16, and I've found that this is the<br>
case. Right now I've gotten the bootstrap compiler working. There is<br>
one sub-library<br>
(libVO) that is not working, but I think i can get that working within a week.<br>
<br>
Once we have IRAF in, I'll look at PyRaf. Once that is in this means that the<br>
big three professional astronomy packages will be available via standard<br>
RPM (ds9, midas, iraf).<br>
<br>
One thing about the astronomy community is that it's been moving heavily toward<br>
Macintosh, and I'm hoping that by making RPM's available with on the standard<br>
distributions, linux is going to be able to stay competitive. It's<br>
also important to<br>
make the packages standard parts of a linux distribution because making them<br>
add-ons means that they don't use the build test infrastructure of the<br>
distribution<br>
as well as the non-astronomy human infrastructure.<br>
