Bug#760884: RFS: astroquery/0.2.1-1 [ITP]

casacore data is this page:

ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/measures_data/measures_data.tar.bz2

linked from this page:

https://code.google.com/p/casacore/wiki/BuildInstructions

According to astron is updated weekly, but in practice that is not the case.

The people at astron use measures_data.csh to create the new measures data. But since they didn't update the measures data for a while I created a new measures_data manually.

So the way I see it, casacore is required to create the measures_data (casacore-data) source tarball, but there is no build dependency on it.

I'll go to astron next week and I hope to get some more clarity about these issues.

The reason is that you need to build the casacore-data package from source.

The source files are the ones that may be downloaded by casacore's measures_data.csh (right?)

To build the package one needs to apply the "measures_data" program to it, which is integrated in the casacore framework, and this creates the dependency.

Best regards

Ole
