Well, I will try to contact upstream (perhaps for harmonics data, It is Bob Kenney <rmk@xxxxxxx> according to http://bel-marduk.unh.edu/xtide/files.html ), however, perhaps the best plan FOR NOW is not to provide harmonics data from Fedora and provide some document as of how to get harmonics tcd data. > The wvs file should be used (provided the licence is acceptable for > fedora).

Well, I must check the code because currently don't know how the environment WVS_DIR is used (is this needed?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: A. I will try to contact upstream, however, my current plan is to completely drop harmonics data from binary rpm and add a document for this issue (I would appeciate it if you make some template for this). A-1 By the way providing some shell script is necessary? I think only explaining how to get tcd data is more preferable because anyway people have to browse a URL to choose the original harmonics text. B. I will check WVS_DIR in source code. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it okay? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
