As apparently anything came out from bug 6215, I wrote a new ebuild for
chipmunk
system (http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/chipmunk/).
From the site: "The software tools in the Chipmunk system perform a wide
variety
of tasks: electronic circuit simulation and schematic capture, graphics
editing,
and curve plotting, to name a few..."
This software is used for example to teach circuit logic courses in some
universities.

Reassigning.
While not exactly sci, this is the closest one, and we have a few similar
packages under app-sci already.
BTW, ids there already enough such stuff to warrant a category? (app-ee or
app-circuitry perhaps?)

How often do updates of these packages happen? It wouldn't be a good idea
to force users to recompile everything because one tool has changed. If it
is still under development, we should maybe better split this into single
packages. Herton?
I think chipmunk updates does't occurs frequently, (may be every year? the
lastest versions were realeased *March 21, 2003*, *June 5, 2002* and *August
17, 2001*). But anyway this package don't seems to affect others, so the
recompile thing isn't a issue, and about the package split, we can do if
it's worth the effort (some parts are very small, or may be not used very
often...)
Created an attachment (id=31505) [details]
chipmunksystem-20031105.ebuild - Updated ebuild
- New version
- Updated SRC_URI
- Installs the shared files in /usr/share/${PN} rather than /usr/share/${P}
since that's what other packages do
Did some little cleanups (used sed -i instead of cp;sed;mv, put installs into a
loop) and put into portage. Thanks guys.
