Re: Welcome to Debian Science!
Hello All:
I am a materials physicist who uses synchrotron radiation for structural
studies. THe packages I use routinely include
lyx: preparation of all documents
tgif, xfig: drawings
gnumeric, openoffice: spreadsheet and presentations
ghemical: molecular visualization
grace: publication graphics
fityk: peak fitting (I maintain this one)
I have also set up a repository for packages which I maintain for IIT,
my research group and my beamline (MR-CAT at the Advanced Photon Source).
Some of these will hopefully make it into Debian but others just
cannot. The packages I have in this private repository are:
ifeffit, horae, sixpack: XAFS data analysis (depend on pgplot5)
xgen: macromolecular crystallography (license is under discussion)
mcmaille: x-ray structure solution (OK for Debian)
tpf: x-ray profile refinement (my program, OK for Debian)
gsas: x-ray Rietveld analysis (binary only for i386 unfortunately!)
expgui: GUI for GSAS (OK for Debian but GSAS isn't)
cmpr: peak fitting and x-ray diffraction data viewer (OK for Debian)
fox: crystal structure solution (I think the license is OK)
fit2d: 2D image analysis (binary only for i386)
Our group has been developing a generalized experiment control system, MX,
for the MR-CAT beamline and others and I am just getting around to making
a package of it along with a bunch of python-based data manipulation and
visualization programs.
It is often hard to find a sponsor so I am not trying too hard to get some
of these into Debian right now. They are built for i386 for sarge, etch
and sid and can be found at:
deb http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/sarge binary/
deb http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/etch binary/
deb http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/sid binary/
deb-src http://fermi.phys.iit.edu/debian/sid source/
I look forward to this list!
Cheers,
Carlo
