Bug#696600: Sponsoring sun - schedule tasks at sunrise/set

2012-12-25 Thread Steffen Vogel
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 ..)

Regards,
  Steffen

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:

$ 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

Paul,

Jup, I agree. I think, we should just try to get 'sun' into the
archives. 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.
  Determination of the sun position in coordinates is not covered.

I would prefer 'suncalc'. Just to keep more options open.
