[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#602150: new version available (20100929)

[chrysn]

Package: pcb
Version: 20091103-2
Severity: wishlist

there is a new version available from upstream, 20100929.

there's a bunch of new features, the ones i think are most useful:

- PCB can directly import (forward annotate) schematics while running.
- Many places where measurements are entered now accept units, like
  "5mm", and "cm" and "in" are allowed too.
- GTK tool tips on elements, pins, and nets.
- New GCode exporter.

there's a lot of and a bunch of bugfixes; the complete list is at [1].


i've tried running the source package on the new tarball; required
changes were

* dropping debian/patches/desktop.diff (applied upstream)
* dropping debian/patches/manpage.diff (applied upstream)
* LED and LED.NET are now named LED.pcb and LED.net (in debian/rules
  override_dh_fixperms)

and then it builds and the resulting packages work (just a quick check,
and i didn't test the lesstif version)
