Astronomy packages and Astronomy Lab/Spin
by Christian Dersch 29 Dec '23

29 Dec '23

Hi, as you might have noticed, I'm quite inactive for some time. Things changed, new job etc. I decided to leave Fedora by end of the year, so my packages need a new maintainer or I'll orphan them. Most of them are astropy related. Same for the Spin/Lab, unfortunately I was unable to fix it for Fedora 39 so it already missed a release. Packages: astrometry astrometry-tycho2 cdsclient ginga libfli (required by indi-fli driver) libindi python-astroML python-astropy-healpix python-astropy-helpers python-astroquery python-astroscrappy python-ccdproc python-extension-helpers python-fitsio python-gatspy python-healpy python-pyerfa python-pytest-arraydiff python-pytest-astropy python-pytest-doctestplus python-pytest-openfiles python-pytest-remotedata python-pyvo python-reproject python-sphinx-argparse python-supersmoother scamp Greetings, Christian

I'll CC the package maintainers directly in this email. Also read the guidelines for requesting a package to be added to EPEL at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/ Are you a Fedora package maintainer, or would you like to becoming one to help maintaining Fedora/EPEL astronomy packages? There are not many folks active in the astronomy SIG lately... Mattia

astropy in EPEL 9
by César Enrique García Dabó 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Hi, astropy is one of the most common astronomy packages being used right now. Fedora ships with it which is great. However it is not available in EPEL 9 as far as I know (although it is in EPEL 8). I think it would be great if astropy is packaged there. I already created a bugzilla report (https:// bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2211202) but so far it has not bin addressed. Is this something that this forum is interested in? Thank you! Enrique

packaging fitsverify?
by César Enrique García Dabó 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

Hi, is there interest to package fitsverify (https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ software/ftools/fitsverify/) in Fedora? It is a very small utility but it is quite ubiquitous in observatory settings. At ESO it is used at the observatory in many places. I can provide a specfile if that's useful. Best regards, Enrique

INDI 1.9.3
by Mattia Verga 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

I've pushed a libindi update to 1.9.3 in Rawhide. [1] Unfortunately I later discovered that indi-aagcloudwatcher is no more available in 1.9.3 and needs to be replaced with indi-aagcloudwatcher-ng. I've filed a review request for indi-aagcloudwatcher-ng [2], but I would like to explore the possibility to consolidate all 3rdparty drivers and libraries in, maybe, only two packages (indi-3rdparty-libraries and indi-3rdparty-drivers). That would lower the burden to update all the INDI stuff item by item. Thoughts?

Recent Astronomy KDE livespin compose failure perhaps due to disk shortage
by Mamoru TASAKA 28 Dec '21

28 Dec '21

Hello, all: From 20211215 compose, Astronomy KDE livespin began to fail to create due to kernel-core %posttrans scriptlet error: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=80016972 Until 20211211, it was successful: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1865851 (20211212 had some dependency error, not related to this discussion). As Kevin says on: https://pagure.io/releng/failed-composes/issue/2973 , looks like this is due to disk shortage. https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/blob/main/f/fedora-live-astronomy_kde.k… , Astronomy live spin sets the disk size to 14500MiB, but looks like total installed size is very close to this size according to anaconda.log (from anaconda.log, on 20211211 "guessed" size to be installed says 15.23 GiB and on 20211215, "guessed" installed size says 15.41 GiB ) from 20211215, looks like kernel-core %posttrans scripitlet trying to create some image (like initramfs) began to fail. So perhaps we have to either: * remove some packages from live spin * or raise disk space Any ideas? Regards, Mamoru

Orphaning Siril
by Mattia Verga 21 Dec '21

21 Dec '21

Hello folks, as I previously announced [1] in the astronomy mailing list, I've decided to orphan Siril and focus my spare time on other things, as I'm already only using the flatpak provided by Flathub (which comes with all the codecs needed to get all program functionalities). If anyone is interested in continue maintaining an RPM version, I would suggest to do that in rpmfusion, so they can compile Siril with at least ffmpeg support. Have happy festive times Mattia [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/astronomy@lists.fedoraproject…

SEP package review
by Petr Menšík 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Hi! I have created package review for sep, library similar to source extractor. It should be eventually used as stellarsolver's dependency once that is possible. Any reviewer welcome, anyone willing to comaintain it too. Cheers, Petr -- Petr Menšík Software Engineer Red Hat, http://www.redhat.com/ email: pemensik(a)redhat.com PGP: DFCF908DB7C87E8E529925BC4931CA5B6C9FC5CB

Proposal to retire Siril
by Mattia Verga 22 Nov '21

22 Nov '21

Hello folks, not so long ago I've adopted Siril and updated it to the latest version in Rawhide (f36). Now I'm wondering if it really worths spending packager time to maintain it: in Fedora we miss a lot of (nearly all) codecs which are really useful for Siril usage, such as ffmpeg and libhevc. So I propose to retire Siril from Fedora repositories and we have two choices: move it under rpmfusion or just use the flatpak from Flathub. As Fedora installers have recently gained support for third party flatpak repositories in an easy way, I would say Flathub. What do you think? Mattia
