Please push opencpn (A ship-borne GUI application for navigation).

this application was not present in Mageia2
Barry Jackson mentored me to propose the first rpm of the previous
version inside Cauldron (opencpn-3.0.2)

So, it's a leaf package which doesn't bring any problem when upgrading
from Mageia2 to Mageia3...

this new version 3.2.0 is a maintenance update, and brings, too,
enhanced functions :
enhanced navigation instrument input and output (allowing the use of a
wider choice of GPS, AIS and NMEA connected stuff such as autopilots)
better quilted display of the digital charts
improved AIS receiver interfacing
improved Tide and current prediction

This is a navigation software written and tested by sailors who take
care about bugs in such a software !!! (lots of beta versions have been
deeply tested before this new release)

Fortunately this version is ready for the next Mageia3 :-)
