Programming Lang: GDL (IDL)
Description : GDL library from D.Fannings IDL courses
The Coyote Library evolved from work David Fanning was doing teaching
IDL courses and answering IDL questions on the IDL newsgroup. It is
meant to be a well-documented library that demonstrates how to write
solid (dare we say eloquent) GDL/IDL programs that are easy to
maintain and extend.
The software is written for the commercial language "IDL", but works in
large parts with GDL as well. Since I don't have much experience with
GDL/IDL, any input, help, co-maintenance or even taking over the
packaging is appreciated.
The main motivation to create this package is to extend the idlastro
package.
The software will be maintained within te Debian Astronomy Team.
A git repository is created on alioth at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/coyote.git
The package will *require* gnudatalanguage. Feel free to start a
discussion if this is a good idea and or if and how the commercial
package (IDL) should be supported.
Best regards
Ole
