Greetings! I have started a personal Astronomy overlay (perhaps, it should be named Amateur Astronomy overlay). If you like, you can import some of its packages into science overlay.
Overlay is hosted at http://github.com/monoid/gentoo-astronomy/ Following packages are currently included: * SkyChart (aka Cartes du Ciel), binary * VirtualMoon, binary * JSatTrak, Java, depends on some ebuilds from java-overlay; needs more work * IridiumFlares, Java (SkyChart and VirtualMoon are binary packages because 64-bit version I compiled from sources fails to work under amd64). -- Ivan Boldyrev
