xtide-data for Debian
---------------------
These are harmonic station data for the xtide package. See the
xtide-data-nonfree package for extra non-free data for Canada, the
Netherlands, Germany and the UK.
There may be other TCD data files available at
http://harmonics.unh.edu/xtide/files.html
To use them, simply drop them in /usr/share/xtide
The sources of this package include the same TCD file, rather than its
sources, because that it how it is distributed. It is a transparent format
that can be converted to plain text using the tcd-utils package, edited in
TCD format using tideEditor[1] (as yet unpackaged) or built from an SQL
data file[2] by installing Debian packages postgresql and libtcd0, building
and installing the prerequisites congen[3] and libdstr[4], then building
harmbase2[5] and running its included Debian.sh script, e.g.:
[...weird path...]/Debian.sh harmonics-dwf-20070318
You should get harmonics-dwf-20070318-free.tcd and
harmonics-dwf-20070318-nonfree.tcd.
