Bug#737698: RFS: healpix-cxx/3.11.2-1 [ITP] -- C++ language interface for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-science@lists.debian.org
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "healpix-cxx". It is one of a suite of three related packages providing C, C++, and Python interfaces for HEALPix (Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization). HEALPix is a map projection and indexing scheme for representing data on the unit sphere, commonly used to store all-sky astronomical images or databases, including cosmic microwave background maps and all-sky survey images.
I am currently a graduate student at California Institute of Technology, and the experiment that I work on (LIGO; http://www.ligo.org) is planning to release some public data in HEALPix format---hence my interest in providing Debian packages. I have contributed build-related code upstream for all three packages and I maintain their respective Mac OS packages in MacPorts.
The C++ package is:
* Package name : healpix-cxx
Version : 3.11.2-1
Upstream Author : Martin Reinecke <martin@mpa-garching.mpg.de>
* URL : http://healpix.sourceforge.net
* License : GPL-2+
Section : libs
It builds these binary packages:
healpix-cxx - C++ command line tools for HEALPix
libhealpix-cxx-dev - shared library for C++ interface to HEALPix
libhealpix-cxx0 - static library and headers for C++ interface to HEALPix
To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

And for the C and Python libraries, please refer to:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/healpix-cxx
http://mentors.debian.net/package/healpy
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/healpix-cxx/healpix-cxx_3.11.2-1.dsc
