Status of Debian-Astro compared to others

[Ole Streicher <olebole@debian.org>]

Hi all,

I created a few pages that show where we are compared to other
distributions and packaging attempts:

* Fedora Astronomy Spin
  http://blends.debian.org/astro/tasks/fedora

* AstroConda (from STSCI)
  http://blends.debian.org/astro/tasks/astroconda

* ESO Scisoft
  http://blends.debian.org/astro/tasks/scisoft

Generally, our selection of packages does not look too bad :-)
However, some of the packages are still missing in Debian. So, if you
want to package something and have no idea what is needed, you may find
a hint there.

Here are the homepages of these distributions:

Fedora     https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Astronomy_Spin
AstroConda http://astroconda.readthedocs.io
SciSoft    http://www.eso.org/sci/software/scisoft

Best regards

Ole
