  Package name    : sun
  Version         : 0.1
  Upstream Author : Steffen Vogel <post@steffenvogel.de>

  Description     : sun calculates the sun's rise/set times, the solar noon and the daylight time duration

I wrote this tool to easily schedule the switching of my lighting for home automation.
Its a stand alone binary following the unix paradigm. Its designed to be used in conjunjtion with cron, at
date etc.

For me this tool is extremly useful as you might note with these examples:

Schedule a BIOS wakeup 10 minutes before the sunrise in Berlin:
  nvram-wakeup -s $(date -d "-10min $(sun rise -q Berlin)" +%s)

Shutdown the system 10 minutes after sunset:
  shutdown $(date -d +10min $(src/sun set --lat=50.55 --lon=-6.2) +%H:%M)

Enable my lighting at cilil twiglight:
  echo ~/bin/enable-lightning | at $(sun set -q Frankfurt -t civil)

The sourcecode is hostet at github:
https://github.com/stv0g/sun

Debian packaging is already completed. I'm currently providing the package in my own apt repository:
http://packages.0l.de/debian/pool/main/s/sun/

Its based on the solar calculations:

from Arnold Barmettler <barmettler@astronomie.info>

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

I've rewritten my tool to use libnova for the astronomical calculations.
It's far more accurate now. As libnova also support calculations for
other planets, I decided to rename it to calcelestial.

Hopefully this rules out any concerns regarding the packagename.

There's already an new ITP for calcelestial [1].
I'm closing this one now.

regards

   Steffen

PS: I'm still looking for a sponsor ;-)
