Notes regarding this package ---------------------------- This package, from version 1.0-12, follows the stardata-common policy. Thus it uses register-stardata on installing and uninstalling. It converts this stardata catalogue to data formats of all compatible stardata viewer programs available in the system, and removes the generated files on uninstall. If an astronomy program is installed that can use the Yale data, register-stardata stores the generated files in /var/lib/ and it makes a symlink to this file from /usr/share//yale.stars, removing both when uninstalling this package.
