[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#773410: geda-xgsch2pcb does not pull in geda or gschem as a dependcy.

[Olliver Schinagl]

Package: geda-xgsch2pcb
Version: 0.1.3-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When wanting to do PCB design with the geda suite without pulling in the entire
science-electronics meta package, then geda can be a solution. However the
geda-meta package does not pull in geda-xgsch2pcb. Reversibly (and worse) geda-
xgsch2pcb does not pull in geda (or gschem for that matter). Since xgsch2pcb is
a tool to make the transistion from geda schema's which are made in gschem, to
pcb, gschem (and more, like gnetllist, gattrib etc etc) are requried for geda-
xgsch2pcb to work properly.

Personally, geda should pull in geda-xgsch2pcb which in turn pulls in
everything it needs. Alternativily, geda-xgsch2pcb becomes a single dependancy
of geda, without any dependancies of its own, as the tool does not _require_
anything, The buttons only execute the installed binaries, hence the useless-
ness of the program if the binaries are missing.
