Request change in references to 'sky'
Issue #27
resolved
phoSim currently uses files in the <release_dir>/data/sky directory but references them as <sed_dir>/../sky. This poses a problem when using external SEDs, specified with phosim.py's "--sed" option, if those external SEDs are part of some other (immutable) software distribution, e.g., lsst_sims package of DM.
One possible solution would be to change references from <sed_dir>/../sky to <release_dir>/data/sky. If, however, the ability to override files in 'sky' is important, it would be better to create a new phosim.py option, "--sky", analogous to the "--sed" option to explicitly specify the desired directory.

this was fixed in v3.6.1. just keep the sky directory with the distribution and all should be well.
