  Description     : Earth Rotation and Leap Second tables for the astropy core package

This package provides access to the tables provided by the International
Earth Rotation and Reference Systems (IERS) service, in particular the
Earth Orientation data allowing interpolation of published UT1-UTC and
polar motion values for given times. This package is not currently meant
to be used directly by users, and only meant to be used from the core
astropy package.

It was cut-off from the astropy core package and will be a new
dependency of astropy.

I will maintain the package within the Debian Astro team in Salsa:

Best regards
