Re: Debian Meteorology ?

[Antonio Amorim <Antonio.Amorim@sim.fc.ul.pt>]

Dear Alastair,

  Regarding emoslib you could also have a look at the ECMWF BUFR and 
GRIBAPI packages.
I have some "kickoff" debian packages on our PAIPIX repository 
libemos-3.4, gribapi-1.7.0, bufr-3.6.0.  They are not suitable for the 
debian repository but they might include some elements that could be useful.
They are available as source or binary from:
  deb http://mirror.sim.ul.pt/debian-paipix lenny main contrib non-free
  deb-src http://mirror.sim.ul.pt/debian-paipix lenny main contrib non-free
please feel free to pick anything that you may find useful and 
incorporate in your "proper" debian packages.
It would also be nice to include the very sophisticated graphics library 
magics++-2.6.4 (and magics++-doc) also from ECMWF. It is also available 
as "kickoff" from the same repository.

All the best,
António Amorim
