Here's a question concerning apps that Starlink ships but doesn't really
own.
Looking at the list of remaining applications on the tiger team web page,
it seems to me that Starlink don't own some of them.
For example,
ASURV is now at v1.3 on the authors own web site. It doesn't have any
starlink code in it. Surely that can now be removed (with the SUN
retained)?
POLMAP is owned by someone at Exeter. Are Starlink now the official
maintainers of polmap or does the author make non-Starlink releases and
maintain his own patch tree? [it uses ndf but no ADAM]
SKYCALC, not starlink at all.
TSP - AAT. Has Jeremy handed this over to Starlink or does he still
maintain it?
XRT - Doesn't even have a SUN. Part of Asterrix? Does ship with Starlink
license though.
IUEDR?
PERIOD? Looks exceedingly non-Starlink
My point here is that I don't want to put something like ASURV into
CVS/autoconf if it's not a package owned by Starlink. I won't even attempt
to put these into CVS until I get some statement as to ownership and
support. [clearly there is no point putting skycalc and asurv in CVS. The
only case that can be made is to put them into thirdparty since starlink
are still wanting to ship them.]
