Description
Would it be possible to add a port for the SOFA (Standards Of Fundamental Astronomy) library? http://www.iausofa.org
There's a C and a Fortran version, Ideally I'd like to have both to compare precision / speed, although only the C version would be great already.
I don't actually know if their license allows it to be included in Macports, someone please check at http://www.iausofa.org/tandc.html (if it's unclear I'd be happy to ask them via email)
There's also a Python wrapper for it, which would be nice to have: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysofa

I'm not too familiar with how to set up C ports (I usually only work on Python ports) but for reference for whoever implements it, the installation involves:
- Download tar file
- cd sofa/20120301_a/c/src
- make CCOMPC=<prefered C compiler>
- make install INSTALL_DIR=<prefered installation directory - equivalent to PREFIX, so don't include lib/>
In terms of C and Fortran, maybe we could have two ports, sofa, and sofa-fortran.

I gave it a try. Works for me. Can even use pysofa: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysofa

Unfortunately, I haven’t really had time to spend on this. Any other committer should feel free to take over.

I have a working version for their 2015 version. It is annoying they can't even be bothered to have a build method. Also pysofa hasn't been updated since 2011 and doesn't work w/ the 2015 sofa.
I'm not sure it is worth adding sofa ATM.

MacPorts already includes ERFA, which is the BSD version of SOFA. The package name is erfa. See https://github.com/liberfa/erfa for more details.

As Tom says, by now there's ERFA and Astropy for time and coordinate calculations.
So I withdraw this feature request and suggest to close it now. (Apparently I don't have enough karma as original poster to close a Macports issue.)
