chkupdate: Check for an available IRAF update
Package: system
Usage
chkupdate
Description
This task was designed to compare the currently installed IRAF version with what is available from the NOAO servers. Since NOAO is transitioning IRAF to an end-of-support state, and has taken NOAO’s IRAF distribution offline, this tool is not useful anymore. For the Community version of IRAF, please check the web site https://iraf-community.github.io for new versions. IRAF packages in Linux distributions like Debian or Ubuntu are automatically kept up-to-date.
