#23075: Port request for Pyraf --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: dcn@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: py26-pyraf --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by tim@…): there is one key dependency here that is not mentioned: IRAF (http://www.iraf.net/). i am looking into a way to make a port of that, but it's far from trivial. i have made fedora-compatible RPMs for it in the past and they worked quite well. however, i did not compile the IRAF source in that process. i simply repackaged the binaries that the IRAF group provides. i can easily do the same for a macport, but i'm not sure what the policy is for such a thing. building IRAF from source requires doing much of the build from within an IRAF environment. not a trivial thing to accomplish from a non-interactive shell or tcl script. also, using the IRAF-supplied official binaries makes reporting up-stream bugs and problems much more straightforward. once there is a working IRAF port, py26-pyraf is quite straightforward since it uses standard python build tools. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23075#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
