measuresdata requests some data again and again

[olebole]

When trying to retrieve data for JPL, measuresdata requests the file download again and again endlessly:

oles@donar:/tmp/measuresdata$ ./measuresdata-update type=DE200

and then it repeats endlessly retrieving ascp1960.200. Similarly for DE405 - also the download of the first file (ascp1960.405) is endlessly repeated.
This happens with the new measuresdata-update script as well as with the old csh script. The tool had a similar behaviour with the IERSeop97 and IERSeop2000 tables, which was at that time fixed by 4de47df.

I need this to create the Debian packages for JPL.

ping
Does anyone have an idea where this problem comes from? I'd like to package the JPL data for Debian, and for this I would need to re-create them from the sources.

[dpetry]

Yes, I believe this is a very old issue. As far as I understand Tammo wanted to look into this. But nobody has time ...

[gijzelaerr]

@olebole is this issue sovled with your replaced script merged a while ago? #465

[olebole]

Unfortunately not. It still prevents me from creating the JPL data package. Pinging @tammojan, since he was mentioned as volunteer ;-)

[sabourke]

I'm looking into this. The code to get the JPL data is missing/half-baked. Hopefully I'll have something soon.

[gijzelaerr]

@sabourke that would be perfect, thanks

[sabourke]

fixed by #803

[gijzelaerr]

This seems to be resolved, thanks @sabourke

[olebole]

Oh yes, it works now; I even uploaded a JPL data package to Debian. I just forgot to mention this here...
@sabourke - thank you very much for the fix!
