[Repost] RFS: cpl-plugin-* [ITP] -- ESO data reduction pipeline recipes
Dear mentors, Since I didn't get response since three weeks, I am reposting my Requests For Sponsorship so that it does not get lost: I have prepared five packages that have a similar structure and are to be used as plugins for the cpl library and the esorex and python-cpl packages. Each plugin contains the software to process (reduce in the astronomer's slang) the data of one instrument mounted at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Telescope (ESO) in Paranal: * cpl-plugin-hawki/1.8.12-1 * cpl-plugin-sinfo/2.3.3-1 * cpl-plugin-fors/4.9.23-1 * cpl-plugin-giraf/2.11.1-1 * cpl-plugin-amber/4.2.2-1 RFS: * HAWK-I http://bugs.debian.org/723962 * SINFONI http://bugs.debian.org/723968 * FORShttp://bugs.debian.org/723970 * GIRAFFE http://bugs.debian.org/723971 * AMBER http://bugs.debian.org/723972 Source package URL: * HAWK-I http://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-hawki * SINFONI http://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-sinfo * FORShttp://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-fors * GIRAFFE http://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-giraf * AMBER http://mentors.debian.net/package/cpl-plugin-amber All packages are GPL and upstream developer is ESO. A common overview for the pipelines is on http://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/ The packages are all built using a common template, so reviewing all five should be not much more work than for one. Relevant differences between the packages: * The copyright files are special since usually the upstream source code is collected from several sources. I always checked where their use can be replaced by Debian packages (like sextractor in cpl-plugin-fors). * Dependencies differ a bit (libfftw, libwcs). * The packages are usually accompanied with a number of files used for calibration purposes. Due to their size, I did not always include them. I have chosen a limit of ~10MB package size, so that calibration packages exceeding this size will not include the files but download them during the package installation. (cpl-plugin-amber-calib).

Can you please check with them if this is correct. So far I know the support for this software is supposed to go over usd-h...@eso.org Also its Upstream-Contact not Upstream-Author in the machine readable copyright format. Concerning the calibration data, you may be able to save significant amount of space by compressing them with cfitsio fpack utility. Its usually better than generic compression methods, at the cost that it can only be read by cfitsio compatible programs (which is the case for these pipelines). Regards, Julian Taylor PS: I still think these packages are to specific in purpose for Debian, so this is no offer of sponsorship.

So far I know the support for this software is supposed to go over usd-h...@eso.org Also its Upstream-Contact not Upstream-Author in the machine readable copyright format. I changed the field to Upstream-Contact: and put the contact address there instead of the authors (resp. maintainers). This is in the git yet; I will upload it in the next days to mentors.debian.net. Concerning the calibration data, you may be able to save significant amount of space by compressing them with cfitsio fpack utility. Its usually better than generic compression methods, at the cost that it can only be read by cfitsio compatible programs (which is the case for these pipelines). Thank you for the hint. However, fpack is (still) not part of Debian, so this cannot be done in the moment. The package is maintained by HEASARC heasarc.nasa.gov/fitsio/fpack/, and thanks to the current situation in the USA the web page is unreachable. Once they are back, I am considering packaging their stuff and then converting the calibration data. However, I doubt that this will squeeze all calibration packages enough so that they all fall under my self-defined limit of 10 MB. PS: I still think these packages are to specific in purpose for Debian, so this is no offer of sponsorship. I restarted the discussion about this a month ago in debian-science, and the response what only positive. Feel free to bring your arguments there. The base packages (cpl and esorex) have an popcon of ~175, which is quite a lot compared to other astronomy packages (ds9: ~260). And the only purpose for cpl, python-cpl, and esorex is to run these plugins, so in my opinion it makes perfect sense to package them as well.

The Debian New Maintainers' Guide (1) and Debian Developer's Reference (2) are to fat? Did you have a look at (3) or (4)? The latter is just 81 slides.
