Bug#706861: ITP: calcelestial -- calcelestial calculates positions, rise set times of celestial bodies.
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Steffen Vogel p...@steffenvogel.de Package name: calcelestial Version : 0.3 Upstream Author : Steffen Vogel p...@steffenvogel.de URL : http://github.com/stv0g/calcelestial License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : calcelestial calculates positions, rise set times of celestial bodies. I wrote this tool to easily schedule the switching of my lighting for home automation. Its the successor of my previous tool called sun which was limited to rise/set times of the sun [1] calcelestial is a lot more powerful tool as its supports more planets and the calculation of position. Its a little tool following the unix paradigm. Its designed to be used in conjunjtion with cron, at date etc. Calculations are done with the libnova library to minimize code duplication. For me this tool is extremly useful as you might note with these examples: Schedule a BIOS wakeup 10 minutes before the sunrise in Berlin: nvram-wakeup -s $(date -d -10 min $(calcelestial -p sun -m rise -q Berlin) +%s) Shutdown the system 10 minutes after sunset: shutdown $(date -d +10 min $(calcelestial -p sun -m set --lat=50.55 --lon=-6.2) +%H:%M) Enable my lighting at cilil twiglight: echo ~/bin/enable-lightning | at $(calcelestial -p sun -m set -q Frankfurt -H civil) The sourcecode is hosted at github [2]. My package is already available at Debian mentors [3]. Im looking for a sponsor.

Bug#698451: qemubuilder mounts rootfs as read-only
Package: qemubuilder Version: 0.70 Severity: important Hey :-) I'm trying to use qemubuilder to build my packages for the armel architecture. I'm using an official kernel (kernel-image-3.2.0-4-versatile) from the archives. The initrd has been created in a chroot with qemu-arm-static as described here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/03/msg00276.html Maybe this should be added the the wiki. Most of the other kernels and descriptions I've found in the internet are unusable..

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 ..)

Determination of the sun position in coordinates is not covered. Depends on if you expand cal to calendar or calculation(s) :) (Maybe suncalc would be clearer for the latter.) 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.

Bug#696593: Sponsor?
Hey *, thanks for your great feedback! Would it be possible to have a name a bit less generic and short ? It is not a command-line tool that people are likely to use on a regular basis, as far as I can tell. Uhm, you are right :-/ I've choosen 'sun' because of the signature of the tool: usage: sun mode [options] mode is one of: rise, set, noon, daytime, nighttime The name 'sun' allows you to create easy readable expressions like: sun rise --query Sydney Whats about 'solar' or 'suntime'? Any other suggestions? Sounds like an interesting project. Have you already uploaded your package to Debian mentors [1] to ask for sponsorship? I've created a RFS [1] FWIW, two existing way to do that that are already in Debian are the packages remind and libdatetime-astro-sunrise-perl. Yes, that's correct. I already knew that before I started working on 'sun'. I decided to choose ANSI C as language to be fast an portable. I planning to use 'sun' on a very small embedded system. And second, the algorithm I used for this package keeps place for enhancements to calculate the suns position (declination, rightascension). I'm not really a fan of these perl-modules. That's not my understanding of small, fast portable tools as it is being contemplated in the UNIX paradigm. There's already an updated upstream version. I added a simple caching for geonames.org lookups. So I reuploaded the package to debian-mentors [2].

Bug#696600: RFS: sun/0.2-1 [ITP] schedule cron or at-jobs at sunrise/set
Hi Gregor, thanks for reviewing my package! I've fixed all points you mentioned. There still the problem that the package name (sun) might be too generic to be included in the archive. What do you think about this concern? I've collected some alternatives: solar suncal atsun sunrun suncycles - makes no sense to me Am Sonntag, den 23.12.2012, 23:17 +0100 schrieb gregor herrmann: - The package doesn't build on a machine / in a chroot without internet access because the tests fail: fixed. I moved the binary from the check_ prefix to the noinst_ prefix. So it gets compiled for testing purposes but not installed by automake. - You can remove the override_dh_auto_configure in debian/rules if you use debhelper (= 9) in debian/control and 9 in debian/compat. fixed. - Current Standards-Version is 3.9.4. fixed. - You don't need the version restrictions for pkg-config libjson0-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev in debian/control, for all 3 packages there are no older versions in the archive. fixed. - Please run lintian with all bells and whistles turned on against the .changes file. It reports for me: debian-watch-contains-dh_make-template and 3x hyphen-used-as-minus-sign for the manpage fixed. I've run lintian with --pedantic -E. No more warnings are showing up. Just debian-mentor's lintian claims: newer-standards-version 3.9.4 (current is 3.9.3) - Installing the empty NEWS file doesn't look so helpful :) (And I'd rename docs to sun.docs for consistency with sun.manpages.) fixed.
