Bug#690531: Fwd: [fedora-astronomy] IRAF RPM spec files

[Ole Streicher <debian@liska.ath.cx>]

Iraf is not forgooten :-)

I just want to remind myself that there is an attempt to package iraf
for Fedora Linux. They are able to compile the whole package now, so it
makes sense to adopt their patches.

This is from the Fedora-Astronomy mailing list
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/astronomy/
Entries covering IRAF start in March 2013. Most current files yet are

Here is the latest set up patches.  The main difference is that I
found and fixed some fortran declarations and one very subtle but
nasty segfault in fncache.c.  I also changed the compile so that it
uses the system expat and readline.

The individual checkins are available at

https://github.com/joequant/iraf

The build file is just a git diff between master and linux-build.

Let me know if they help the compile....

There is one extra patch that isn't used by the spec file which you
can play with.

I'm in the process of trying to get everything to work with gfortran,
but am running into a lot of subtle memory issues.  There is IRAF code
that creates a subsystem for allocating memory and there are a lot of
pointer conversion issues.

On my machine I got a working RPM  ----->
