[3dprinter-general] Bug#1017521: prusa-slicer: Include avrdude-slic3r as standalone binary for flashing firmware on Prusa printers

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

Package: prusa-slicer
Version: 2.4.2+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: arekm at maven.pl

Dear Maintainer,

prusa-slicer contains avrdude-slic3r (a modified variant of avrdude) for
updating firmware on Prusa printers. It is normally internally used by
prusa-slicer (Configuration -> Flash printer firmware).

But it can also be used externally for the same purpose.

There is a very popular octoprint.org software used on thousands
of raspberry pi for controlling 3d printers. Quite often it runs on
top of Debian (due to OctoPi distribution with OctoPrint preinstalled).

Plugin OctoPrint-FirmwareUpdater can be used [1] to update firmware on
3d printers.

That plugin requires avrdude-slic3r to work with Prusa MK printers.

Would be great if prusa-slicer already provided it (since it's part of
prusa-slicer anyway - src/avrdude).
