longitude/latitude dimensions
posted by Marco (anonymous) - 2003-10-02 10:59:39

In which dimensions should I put the longitude after -lon and the latitude after -lat? First I tried in degredes, then in hours (which wouldn't be logic for latitude, but I had to try something), but neither gave me a correct sunrise/sunset result.
The documentation could be more clear about this. But it'd a great app, if only I could get it working.
Solution of Marco's problem.

Minutes and seconds in Longitude and latitude are in decimal format. Example from manual:
wmSun -lon 106.3 -lat 35.9 [...] Los Alamos in local time <=> 35°53'28"N, 106°17'52"W.
I think, it should be written stright in the manpage.
Beside of this it is my favourite dockapp, especially after dark Winter.

this dockapp is not satisfying me.
regarding coordinates...

on freebsd, i've observed that using the -td switch offsets the time unnecessarily when the localhost is not set to utc (and who the hell does that anyway if they don't live in GMT-0).

the following works perfectly in central ohio, u.s.

wmSun -lat 40.1 -lon 83.0
Incorrect FSF address in source
posted by mariobl (logged user) - 2011-07-02 21:48:14

While packaging this dockapp for Fedora, I've encountered that the source files and the file COPYING itself contain the old FSF address. Well, it was no problem for me, because upstream is dead anyway. But in my mind, it's worth mentioning to possible packagers of other distributions.
