P5.12 Starlink's Software Distribution System

Martin J. Bly (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK)

The Starlink Software is a collection of astronomical packages and utilities comprising over 120 separate components. When built, the system needs between 500 and 650Mb disk space (without source) making it ideal for distribution on CD-ROM. Each component has been packaged as a separate entity that can be distributed in an easy to install bundle for users to obtain over the Internet via a `point and click' WWW interface from the Starlink Software Store.
