[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1063334: iraf: IRAF's desktop file has disappeared

[Ole Streicher]

Hi Peter,

oops, the desktop file and the icon were forgotten when the installation 
procedure was changed in 2.17.1. I will upload a new Debian package with 
these files included.

The "irafcl" script is mentioned in /usr/share/docs/iraf/README.Debian; 
I agree that this is not the first place to look (although it is the 
canonical path for Debian specific READMEs). For the next upstream 
version it is planned to also switch to irafcl (but still have 
compatibility links for cl/ecl); this should be described in the 
upstream release notes then. I am happy to get suggestions on how to 
improve this.

Thank you for the report!

Best

Ole
