  Description     : A command line tool for compiling Arduino sketches

 A command line tool for compiling Arduino sketches
 .
 This tool is able to parse Arduino Hardware specifications, properly run 
 gcc and produce compiled sketches.
 .
 An Arduino sketch differs from a standard C program in that it misses a 
 main (provided by the Arduino core), function prototypes are not 
 mandatory, and libraries inclusion is automagic (you just have to 
 #include them). This tool generates function prototypes and gathers 
 library paths, providing gcc with all the needed -I params.

This package is now necessary for new versions of the Arduino IDE.

The plan is to maintain this package inside the Debian Electronics Team. And for this, a sponsor will be needed.

Cheers,
