It is not a goal for this library to do any processing of the resulting units, such as unit conversion or arithmetic. Parsing unit strings isn't a deep or particularly interesting problem, but it's more fiddly than one might expect, and so it's useful for it to be done properly once. The package will be maintained by the Debian Astro team. It is a new dependency of the starjava packages. A git repository will be created at https://salsa.debian.org/debian-astro-team/unity-java Best regards Ole
