  Description     : CDF table support for Starjava
 CDF (Common Data Format) is a self-describing data format defined by NASA
 for the storage of scalar and multidimensional data in a platform- and
 discipline-independent way. This package adds CDF support for tables to the
 Starjava library.

The package will be maintained by the Debian Astro team. It is part of
the effort to package the Virtual Observatory Java tools from Starlink.

A git repository will be created at

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/starjava-cdf.git

The package depends on the creation of the jcdf package, which is a pure-java CDF reader library.

Best regards

Ole
