* Package name : astrometry-data-2mass Version : 4200 Upstream Author : Dustin Lang * URL : http://data.astrometry.net/ * License : GPL Description : Star catalogs for astrometry.net from 2MASS Astrometry.net needs complete catalogs of star positions, which are provided with several resolutions in these packages. The uncompressed size of these catalogs upstream ranges from 129 kBytes (1000 stars) to ~15 GB (200 million stars), with roughly doubling the number of stars with each step. Since it is not useful to put flood the Debian archive with Milky Way stars, I started a discussion on debian-devel [1]. However, until there is a good solution, I would package a subset (total ~120 MB), which overs about 3 million stars. I still have no idea about the best way to split it into subpackages; probably I would combine the smallest catalogs into one 8 MB package, and then have one larger catalog per package (8 MB, 15 MB, 30 MB, 60 MB). Best regards Ole The package will be maintained within the Debian Astronomy Team.
