Hello, I've been trying to package casa and its dependencies with some amount of success. It requires a few new packages (including a version of xerces-c that was removed for security reasons), but it requires a different implementation of casacore then is currently in the main tree.
Specifically, casacore from https://code.google.com/p/casacore has been forked with additions made to the interface. This fork is only available from an svn repo, and the only "releases" are tags when a new version of casa is released. The current casacore ebuild grabs the last release from https://code.google.com/p/casacore . This is two years old and greatly out-of-date. The "trunk" is too out of date, but the nrao-nov12 appears to merge in the changes from casa every once in awhile. I'm wondering if the current casacore ebuilds should be replaced with ones that pull from the "releases" from nrao, or if I should make new (blocking) casa-casacore ebuilds for this fork. Thanks, Joseph Booker
