Bug#696600: Sponsoring sun - schedule tasks at sunrise/set



Hi Paul's :-)

Im very glad you want to sponsor my package!

Some more thoughts about an appropriate packagename:
I'm currently not clear about the future development of the sun tool.
There are several features which might extend the tool in future
releases:
- add muslimic prayer times: http://www.nabkal.de/namazrech.html
- add calculations for the sun position
- add calculations for sun eclipses

As I'm not willing to change the packagename, once its in the archive, I
think it's important the choose a suitable name which also covers these
new features.

Here are my proposals:

sun - fits calculations related to the planet sun

suncal - seems only to be correct for time/date related calculus.
Determination of the sun position in coordinates is not covered.

ephemeris - fits calculations for positions of arbitrary celestial
objects (sun, moon, planets, stars ..)

Regards,
  Steffen
