Should we have project like electronics or (for example) hardware:design?
Yes, I was thinking along these lines, but still search for a name that fits both, the hardware and the firmware aspects that we want to cover with the new project. If I had to pick among these two names, I'd prefer electronics, because hardware:design sounds too speciffic and doing electronics these days almost inevitably means that some sort of programmable device and firmware are involved.
We can say, that hardware repository is intended for using this hardware on Linux, and the new repository will be intended for general development of such hardware.
Yes, but the new repository shall include firmware and not be limited to "such" hardware (in the sense of computer periphery).
The new project can have a description:
This repository contains tools for hardware design and development.
How about "This repository contains tools for developing electronic circuits and firmware for microcontrollers" ? (In reply to comment #8)
Project electronics already exists and contains 11 packages, 2 of them broken. The last openSUSE release there is 11.4 and also old Centos and RHEL.
Seems to have quite some overlap with CrossToolchain:avr already. I'd say let's revive this for the new purpose, but shall it be flat or is it better to have subprojects for the different µC architectures and other tools? e.g.: electronics:avr electronics:msp430 ... electronics:tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, target-independent programmers, JTAG) electronics:cad -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
