pcb-rnd - the [debian] patch
Our current Debian packaging reflects the modularity of pcb-rnd: it has
most plugins in separate packages. The main package is called
pcb-rnd-core: this provides the executable and the footprint library
and the batch HID. The GUI HIDs are in pcb-rnd-gtk and
pcb-rnd-lesstif - it's possible to install neither, either or both.
When there are multiple HIDs installed, the user can select one by the
--gui command line parameter or by changing the GUI preference in the
configuration (the default preference is gtk > lesstif > batch).
The rest of the packages are features, importers and exporters, e.g.
pcb-rnd-svg is the SVG exporter, pcb-rnd-query is the object
query language needed for the advanced search.
A metapackage called pcb-rnd is provided for convenience: it installs
the packages for the most common, yet small setup, with the GTK HID.
How to get the packages:
- decide which packages you need; this package list may help
- use apt-get install after configuring repo.hu's debian repository as source in your /etc/apt/sources.list
- use dpkg -i after manually downloading the packages from repo.hu's flat package list or from the package pool
- build them on your Debian box: use svn trunk, install debhelper and all the build dependencies of pcb-rnd and run "fakeroot debian/rules binary" in trunk (shorthand: "make deb")
plans
No plans - this feature is fully implemented.
