casacore data is this page: ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/measures_data/measures_data.tar.bz2
linked from this page: https://code.google.com/p/casacore/wiki/BuildInstructions According to astron is updated weekly, but in practice that is not the case. The people at astron use measures_data.csh to create the new measures data. But since they didn't update the measures data for a while I created a new measures_data manually. So the way I see it, casacore is required to create the measures_data (casacore-data) source tarball, but there is no build dependency on it. I'll go to astron next week and I hope to get some more clarity about these issues. 2014-09-14 10:53 GMT+02:00 Ole Streicher <oleb...@debian.org>: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Am 14.09.2014 um 10:49 schrieb Gijs Molenaar: > > Maybe one step back, why does casacore-data depend on casacore?
