pcb2gcode-2.5.0.ebuild

pcb2gcode generates gcode for a CNC-driven mill, given Gerber files generated by a PCB CAD packages.

3D printer slicers do a similar job of generating gcode from CAD-generated models. Those all seem to be listed under media-gfx, so I would suggest the path media-gfx/pcb2gcode for this package. Alternatively, previous versions of this ebuild suggested sci-electronics/pcb2gcode.

New packages are very slow to enter the tree.  Please consider contributing it to GURU instead.

Thank you!

this belongs to a -9999 ebuild
you can run 
qgrep EGIT 
to find ebuilds with examples.

Use the releases instead for 2.5.0
