Rolling reminder: update wcslib and cfitsio to the latest version #9018
Edit: This is a perpetual reminder issue for doing updates for the actually upcoming release. Once addressed last before a release, remilestone it to the next one.
No, not really. I will update to 6.3 soon. This ticket is not about that. It is meant as a reminder to check what the latest version is before 4.0 is released.
A note on the new wcslib, my distro (Arch Linux) has upgraded to version 6.3. I think that's caused astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord to no longer import successfully, throwing the following error:
File "TNT-ALMA_LP.py", line 10, in <module>
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/astropy/coordinates/__init__.py", line 17, in <module>
from .name_resolve import *
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/astropy/coordinates/name_resolve.py", line 21, in <module>
from .sky_coordinate import SkyCoord

from astropy.wcs.utils import skycoord_to_pixel, pixel_to_skycoord

from . import _wcs
ImportError: /usr/lib/libwcs.so.6: undefined symbol: fits_read_wcstab
I'm sorry for the quasi hijack, but cfitsio is in the same boat as wcslib, and this issue can actually serve as a reminder to check for updated versions for both prior the release (atm cfitsio is up-to-date, while wcslib already has a 6.4 version released a few weeks ago).

(Though only updating external libs right before release seems very risky but we also do not have any mid-cycle milestone/label. Good thing usually the real updates happen way before a release is cut. Ah well.)

@nden, just for future clarity, what version do you mean? Do you plan to do it?
nden commentedon Jul 18, 2019
A new one came out last week. I will include it in astropy soon but this issue concerns the future.
It is a reminder to check the latest wcslib that is out just before 4.0 is released.
And yes, I will do it as usual.
pllim commentedon Jul 18, 2019
Okay. v6.3 then -- https://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/mcalabre/WCS/wcslib/

So, by now, we don't really need CFITSIO updates anymore.
@mhvk , do we still need leap second/IERS B updates now that we have
astropy-iers-datapackage?saimn commentedon Oct 29, 2024
we can still get updates for fixes/changes in the few files we use:

For IERS, I think this is indeed no longer needed!

OK I updated the title.
