This package is not directly based on the original IRAF tarball, but on a fork created by Ole Streicher. Deviations from the original code are not Debian specific and include bugfixes, removal of non-free code, and code cleanup. All changes that are not Debian specific are proposed as pull requests on the IRAF github repository https://github.com/iraf/iraf-v216 Debian specific adoptions made in the Debian package include: * The directory structur is changed according to the FHS /usr/lib/iraf/ - IRAF root dir ($iraf) /etc/iraf/login.cl - Default login script * The binaries are in bin/ subdirs (without arch dependent extension) * The user commands are installed in /usr/bin/, but cl/ecl had to be renamed to "irafcl", and is extended to optionally start the terminal irafcl - starts IRAF ecl in the current window sgidispatch - execute named sgi translator * The SPP, Fortran and C source code is not included in the binary packages. * The VO functionality (vocl, VO package) is not included. -- Ole Streicher
