Bug Description

Binary package hint: geda

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/geda-xgsch2pcb

``xgsch2pcb`` provides an intuitive, user-friendly graphical interface to the ``gsch2pcb`` command-line tool, part of the gEDA suite, which is used to generate and update a PCB layout. It works with schematics created by ``gschem``, part of the gEDA suite, and layouts created by ``pcb``, a PCB layout system commonly used with gEDA.

Can we sync this package into Ubuntu?

I'd recommend having the "geda" meta-package pull in geda-xgsch2pcb like the rest of the suite. This isn't the case yet in Debian, since the other geda-* packages haven't been updated since the 1.4.0 gEDA release.

Hi,

The package has been synced from Debian Unstable into Hardy. neverthless there is a FTBFS error which is being looked into. But the reported error is closed. Thanks for the report. Check bug 189128

Thanks very much.

W.R.T the FTBFS, I missed a build-dep in the control file when I sent it to Hamish (Debian), and it got missed. Am now building things with pbuilder before passing them on, which has caught various similar bugs for me.

I'm antipitaing Hamish will upload a fix to Debian soon for the FTBFS. Should I file another sync request after that is available?

I have already created a bug for the ftbfs and linked debian bug tracker url to it. I just figured out that libxml-perl and pygtk modules are missed out in build deps. I am not sure if any more is missed out. If you already have a building version can you please attach the debdiff to the bug 190473 ? Have assigned the bug to myself since I was trying to figure out the cause.

Gah, yes, pygtk.. configure will check for that too.

One last gotcha which might be present, is that the configure checks for
pygtk will likely want a valid X11 DISPLAY=... available.
