Package: stardata-common (0.7)

Common framework to manage astronomy packages

This package allows the installation and removal of astronomy catalogues, converting those catalogues to astronomy programs' data formats.

All stardata catalogues conforming to stardata-common policy are converted automatically at installation time to the formats of astronomy programs that support stardata-common.

The register-stardata program is transparent for the user; this program is called automatically when any astronomy package conforming to the stardata-common policy is installed, upgraded or removed.
