Whoa, that's nice. Thanks for sharing your code. I faced two problems: * The URI for the egg tarball in ephem.release info points a resource that does not exist. I'd suggest using https://github.com/mario-goulart/test-new-egg Just install it and run: $ test-new-egg https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobAltenburg/ephem/master/ephem.release-info * What's the required libnova version? On my system I have 0.14.0 and the egg compilation fails with: error: libnova/constellation.h: No such file or directory The Debian package for that version doesn't contain that constallation.h. All the best.
