Package: wnpp

Description : FITS world coordinate system support library
Please critique my understanding of library packaging (copy me in
responses). Upstream doesn't (yet!) build a shared library, so it
seems the burden lies on me to implement that support. But wcslib is
used by 2 of my packages (saods9 and sextractor), and seems to provide
a highly specialized, yet readily accessible and well-documented API,
which I can easily see being useful in my own projects.
WCSLIB is a C library, supplied with a full set of Fortran wrappers,
that implements the "World Coordinate System" (WCS) convention in
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System). It also includes a
PGPLOT-based routine, PGSBOX, for drawing general curvilinear
coordinate graticules.
The FITS data format is widely used within the international
astronomical community, from the radio to gamma-ray regimes, for
data interchange and archive, and also increasingly as an online
format. It is described in
"Definition of The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS)",
Hanisch, R.J., Farris, A., Greisen, E.W., et al. 2001, A&A, 376,
359
which formalizes NOST 100-2.0, a document produced by the
NASA/Science Office of Standards and Technology, see

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 341188
stop
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
341188@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
