Presenting the @DebianAstro poster at #ADASS2025
I am on ADASS this week. There are quite a few ideas for new #Debian Astro packages, f.e. https:github.com/nicocardiel/teareduce
Das Ende einer Ära, die letzte gedruckte #taz in der S-Bahn. Sie wird mir fehlen.
Yesterday, I found (and fixed) an at least 37 years old bug in #IRAF CL. It appeared already in the first IRAF version where we have source code (2.8). If you have an older version, please let me know! #SoftwareArcheology
To make installation easier for Apple users, I just uploaded a beta version of the new #IRAF macOS installer! Feedback is welcome! Try it out from here

IRAF 2.18.1 Installation Instructions

IRAF maintained by the community

IRAF Community Distribution
Preview for what is coming new in (Community) #IRAF for macOS ... I'd need brave testers.
It seems that the release is significantly delayed: The web page now suggests July 1 2024 as release date. This should give us some time to discuss a common path for IRAF in the future. If NOIRLAB would have interest (from my experience so far, I doubt that).
The IRAF poster shown at #ADASS2023 invites to test and give feedback, so I wrote to the author to establish a contact between NOIRLab and the IRAF community. However, no communication, no test offer so far. Working together would be essential for the future of #IRAF.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to talk on the eScience splinter of the #AG2023 meeting about #IRAF legacy.
Sowas gibt es nur in Berlin: Einbahnstraße als Sackgasse. Mal sehen, wann sie voll ist.
