Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "skycat"
* Package name : skycat
Version : 3.1.2+starlink1~b-1
Upstream Author : ESO - European Southern Observatory (but see below)
* URL :
http://archive.eso.org/cms/tools-documentation/skycat.html
* License : GPLv2+
Section : science
Binary package: skycat - Image visualization and access to catalogs and
data for astronomy
Further information about this package on mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/skycat
dget download:
dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/skycat/skycat_3.1.2+starlink1~b-1.dsc
The development and maintenance of the package by ESO has been stopped
since a few years. However, a fork exists that is under maintenance by
Starlink <http://starlink.jach.hawaii.edu/starlink>. This fork is used
for the package. Despite of its age, there is still some interest by
astronomers on this package.
Best regards,
Ole
