FreeBSD astro : nightfall

An interactive binary star application

 Nightfall is an astronomy application for fun, education, and science.
It can produce animated views of eclipsing binary stars, calculate
synthetic lightcurves and radial velocity curves, and eventually
determine the best-fit model for a given set of observational data of
an eclipsing binary star system. 
It is, however, not able to fry your breakfast egg on your harddisk ;-)

nightfall history


v. 1.21
date: 2007/10/24 23:34:43;  author: marcus;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -5
Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD.  The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ .  Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).

The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy.  We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD.  This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.

This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully.  Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).

The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and
contributors:

Yasuda Keisuke
Frank Jahnke
Pawel Worach
Brian Gruber
Franz Klammer
Yuri Pankov
Nick Barkas
Cristian KLEIN
Tony Maher

(And anyone else I may have missed)
