* Package name : iraf Version : 2.16 Upstream Author : IRAF programming group at the National Optical Astronomy Observatories * URL : http://iraf.noao.edu * License : mainly MIT, with no-ad clause Description : Image Reduction and Analysis Facility IRAF (an acronym for Image Reduction and Analysis Facility) is a collection of software written at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) geared towards the reduction of astronomical images in pixel array form. This is primarily data taken from imaging array detectors such as CCDs. IRAF was in Debian until ~2004 [1], packaged by Zed Pobre. An attempt was made by Justin Pryzby to put it back shortly later [2], but this was not successfull due to the complicated licensing of IRAF (several licenses, inclusing some non-free). However, recently IRAF simplified their license in that they use only three DFSG compatible licenses [3], with MIT covering most of the code. Since this is a quite huge package, I would appreciate help and sharing experiences on packaging. Also, if someone still keeps some results of Justin's packagin, please drop me a note.
