[Pkg-electronics-devel] PCB

Hi.

Recently there was a request to package a fork of gEDA PCB:

  https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-electronics-devel/2016-November/004153.html

I don't yet know if this should be acted on, but I just noticed that the
unforked pcb tool doesn't build from source, and is on track to be
excluded from stretch:

  https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pcb.html

Does anyone here have plans to get gEDA pcb building again? Any opinions
about the fork? At least one of these tools needs to be in Stretch. It
may be too late to get the fork in, but I guess I'll look at it this
weekend if there're no strong opinions. If upstream hasn't made a
release in years, and the pcb package fell out of testing, maybe the
fork is the way to go.
