It's been a while since I had tried this port, and after obtaining TLE
for Shinzhou-5 yesterday, I decided to give it a try. I was getting
checksum errors on all TLE [www.celestrack.com], as well as the one of
interest. After disabling the checksum code, I was getting altitude
info of like 8500+ kM for SZ-5, and all sorts of other funky crud for
others.
I don't have the time to do much with this, but if I find some time,
I'll help. The maintainer needs to take a look at the port tho.
sattrack is a good package, and should stay in the tree, but there are
issues right now...
