Bug#696600: RFS: sun/0.2-1 [ITP] schedule cron or at-jobs at sunrise/set



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my new package "sun"

 Package name    : sun
 Version         : 0.2-1
 Upstream Author : Steffen Vogel <post@steffenvogel.de>
 URL             : https://github.com/stv0g/sun
 License         : GPL
 Section         : utils

It builds those binary packages:
  sun   - solar ephemeris calculator

I wrote this tool to easily schedule the switching of my lighting for
home automation.
Its a stand alone binary following the unix paradigm. Its designed to be
used in conjunjtion with cron, at
date etc.

For me this tool is extremly useful as you might note with these
examples:

Schedule a BIOS wakeup 10 minutes before the sunrise in Berlin:
 nvram-wakeup -s $(date -d "-10min $(sun rise -q Berlin)" +%s)

Shutdown the system 10 minutes after sunset:
 shutdown $(date -d +10min $(src/sun set --lat=50.55 --lon=-6.2) +%H:%M)

Enable my lighting at cilil twiglight:
  echo ~/bin/enable-lightning | at $(sun set -q Frankfurt -t civil)

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sun/sun_0.2-1.dsc
