Bug#696600: Sponsoring sun - schedule tasks at sunrise/set
Hi Paul's :-) Im very glad you want to sponsor my package! Some more thoughts about an appropriate packagename: I'm currently not clear about the future development of the sun tool. There are several features which might extend the tool in future releases: - add muslimic prayer times: http://www.nabkal.de/namazrech.html - add calculations for the sun position - add calculations for sun eclipses As I'm not willing to change the packagename, once its in the archive, I think it's important the choose a suitable name which also covers these new features. Here are my proposals: sun - fits calculations related to the planet sun suncal - seems only to be correct for time/date related calculus. Determination of the sun position in coordinates is not covered. ephemeris - fits calculations for positions of arbitrary celestial objects (sun, moon, planets, stars ..)

I'd say, let's try insisting on the name sun for a bit, for reasons I mentioned earlier. It's short and sweet, you have a legitimate stake for it, and contrary to appearances, the FTPmasters are not evil. -- How to squander your resources: those silly Swedes have a sauce named hovmästarsås, the best thing ever to put on cheese, yet they waste it solely on mere salmon. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

A agree, suncal isn't bad, but what's neat about sun is how the command invocation flows: $ sun rise $FOO $ sun set $FOO So, my money is on atsun just do to: $ atsun rise $FOO $ atsun set $FOO Or, see if you can barter with the FTP folks to keep `sun' Cheers, gregor -- .''`.

It's still worth the try, than continue discussing... ;-) If the name gets rejected, we could even choose between: - suncal - atsun - suncalc suncal - seems only to be correct for time/date related calculus.

A agree, suncal isn't bad, but what's neat about sun is how the command invocation flows: I would prefer 'suncalc'. Just to keep more options open.
