not know or do not trust then is for you. Input an image and we'll give you
back astrometric calibration meta-data, plus lists of known objects falling
inside the field of view.Astrometry.net
We have built this astrometric calibration service to create correct,
standards-compliant astrometric meta-data for every useful astronomical image
ever taken, past and future, in any state of archival disarray. We hope this
will help organize, annotate and make searchable all the world's astronomical
information.

Image Transport System). It also includes a PGPLOT-based routine, PGSBOX,
for drawing general curvilinear coordinate graticules and a number of
utility programs." - from README file.

data from GPS systems. Basically it's a tool to let you play with
your GPS data after you get home from your trip.
It can load data from arbitrary text-based formats (for example,
any tab-separated or comma-separated file) or Xml, or directly from
a GPS receiver. It can display the data (as map view using openstreetmap
images and as altitude profile), edit this data (for example delete
points and ranges, sort waypoints, compress tracks), and save the
data (in various text-based formats). It can also export data as a
Gpx file, or as Kml/Kmz for import into Google Earth, or send it
to a GPS receiver.

GeoTiff format as well as Garmin's img vector map format. Additional it is the
PC side front end to QLandkarte M, a moving map application for mobile devices.
And it fills the gap Garmin leaves in refusing to support Linux. QLandkarte GT
is the proof that writing portable applications for Unix, Windows and OSX is
feasible with a minimum of overhead. No excuses!
QLandkarte GT does replace the original QLandkarte with a much more flexible
architecture. It's not limited to a map format or device. Thus if you think your
Magellan GPS or other should be supported, join the team.
Additionally it is a front end to the GDAL tools, to make georeferencing scanned
maps feasible for the normal user. Compared to similar tools like QGis, it's
target users are more on the consumer side than on the scientific one.
QLandkarte GT might not let you select every possible feature of the GDAL tools,
but it will simplify their use to the demands of most users.

modular xorg.
- supply corresponding USE_XORG for all imake-using ports that need it
- USE_IMAKE no longer implies USE_XLIB in absence of USE_XORG
- retire USE_X_PREFIX which is not really used anywhere after the
above change
- a few minor nits like whitespace and SF macro

http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/ for a list of what's new.
On the FreeBSD front, we introduced a port of libxul 1.9 as an alternative
for Firefox 2.0 as a Gecko provider. Almost all of the Gecko consumers
can make use of this provider by setting:
WITH_GECKO=libxul
The GNOME 2.26 port was done by ahze, kwm, marcus, and mezz with
contributions by Joseph S. Atkinson, Peter Wemm, Eric L. Chen,
Martin Matuska, Craig Butler, and Pawel Worach.
