Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: chrysn <chr...@fsfe.org> * Package name : visolate Version : 2.0.0 Upstream Author : Marsette A. Vona, III <v...@mit.edu> * URL : http://www.mit.edu/~vona/Visolate/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Java Description : tool for engraving PCBs using CNCs
Visolate reads the gerber files describing printed circuit boards and converts them into the g-code needed to engrave they layout into a board using a CNC machine. Precise renditions of the original layout can be created as well as voronoi fillings of the original layout, shortening the toolpath. there are some issues to be resolved with upstream concerning which version is the latest, but these can be expected to be resolved easily. as far as packaging itself is concerned, the current status relies on javahelper and hardly does anything but call javahelper and include a binary wrapper. for sake of completeness, i should mention that i have no experience in java programming at all -- for all but trivial fixes in the code, i will have to rely on upstream or others. that whole jar business seems to be handled by jh quite well, fortunately :-) -- To use raw power is to make yourself infinitely vulnerable to greater powers. -- Bene Gesserit axiom
