[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#927329: Bug#927329: Update Arduino from 1.8.2 to 1.8.9

[Brian Holaday]

Hi Rock,

I don't have a problem with waiting for a release in SID but I wanted to
try and get several electronic tools I use for hobby reported such that
someone with expertise can fix them. I have no problems with the work
around I have attached I just created my own script installer in the
meantime because the AVR ICE programmer which I use is supported on Arduino
IDE 1.8.4 or greater the best. The other package I am using is avrdude and
avrgcc which is used in conjunction with Arduino no other dependencies I
use.

I have filled a bug in the avrgcc package relating to using MPLab and
avrgcc but I have yet to hear anything back on that bug yet and is not a
huge issue as explained I have a work around for both issues so far so no
hurry here.

Thanks for all your hard work,

I hope soon I can try and help but at the moment don't have much experience
packaging.
