xtide has gradually lost relevance due to a lack of relevant data, because data that were distributed with considerable freedom at one time, got un-published (see https://flaterco.com/xtide/faq.html#renaissance and the legacy data paragraph just above it). A good replacement would be eo-tides (see https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.07786.pdf). It is free (Apache License 2.0) and actively maintained (https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/eo-tides/tree/main) but not in Debian (yet). > -- Kind regards, Frans Spiesschaert
