To use xtide and related utilities (like xttpd,
|
|
|
72afd03 |
tideEditor), you need an harmonics file. Currently
|
|
|
72afd03 |
we ship the harmonics data of US part only, which are
|
|
|
72afd03 |
under public domain. The harmonics data outside US
|
|
|
72afd03 |
cannot be distributed as part of Fedora because their
|
|
|
72afd03 |
license restricts commercial redistribution and selling,
|
|
|
72afd03 |
which is too restrictive for Fedora. If you want to
|
|
|
72afd03 |
use harmonics data outside US, you have to install
|
|
|
72afd03 |
such data after the package installation by yourself.
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
Such files are available at:
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
http://www.flaterco.com/xtide/files.html
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
As the time of writing, the latest harmonics file is:
|
|
|
72afd03 |
ftp://ftp.flaterco.com/xtide/harmonics-dwf-20071122-nonfree.tcd.bz2
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
The utilities can only use uncompressed harmonics files.
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
There are 2 possibilities to have the utilities become aware of
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
the harmonics file location:
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
1) by editing /etc/xtide.conf, and setting the first line of the file
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
to the path of the directory containing the harmonics files, or
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
to the harmonics file location (the utilities will also accept a colon `:'
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
delimited list of paths).
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
The second line of /etc/xtide.conf sets the directory which
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
contains world vector shoreline data. The second line can accept only
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
one directory and cannot be colon-delimited.
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
The default content of /etc/xtide.conf used by fedora is:
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
/usr/share/xtide-harmonics/
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
/usr/share/wvs-data/
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
which means that all the files in /usr/share/xtide-harmonics
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
are considered to be harmonics files and all under /usr/share/wvs-data
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
are considered to be WVS data.
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
2) by setting the environment variable HFILE_PATH. You can also
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
set WVS_PATH to specify the directory under which WVS data are
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
stored.
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
You can run the provided script xtide-get_harmonics-data.sh
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
under /usr/sbin to install harmonics files to
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
/usr/share/xtide-harmonics. This script requires
|
|
|
6379bb9 |
administrator previledges.
