Hi,

?

?

like I said, I'm the maintainer of the rpm packages for xephem on opensuse. I've already been building and providing thoe for ... 15 years or so. I know about building from source and including catalogs.

?

Anyways, I just started a new project on my build service account, "astrotoolbox". Eventually the result will be a bootable hybrid iso image (can be written to a DVD or USB stick), unless it turns out bigger than 4.5GB in which case it'll be ony USB Stick, and on it you will find:

KDE Plasma 5 Desktop

GNOME Desktop

XFCE Desktop

?

XEphem 4.7.7

kstars

stellarium

cartes du ciel

?

and if I can pull it off the virtual moon atlas as well.

?

If there is demand there will also be VM images so you can run the whole thing in Hyper-V on your windows computer.

?

Cheers

Mathias
