Description : Position Astronomy Library
This library is a collection of code designed to aid in
replacing the SLA library with code from NOVAS and SOFA.
.
Where possible the API is similar to the slalib
except for the use of a "pal" prefix.
The goal of this package is to provide a modern alternative to the
slalib. Future versions of starlib-libast
<http://bugs.debian.org/657957> will be built using this library instead
of slalib <http://bugs.debian.org/659003>
This package is built in preparation to build saods9
<http://bugs.debian.org/655648>.
