Finally, I got to do the promised evaluation of the answers. See below. ------------------------------------ Number of participants: 34
> * What OS do you run geda applications on? Fedora Core: 16 (1x FC-4, 1x FC-5, 2x FC-6, 3x FC-7, 4x FC-8, 3x FC-9) Mac OSX: 8 Debian: 8 (3x etch, 3x lenny, 1x sid) Ubuntu: 7 (4x Hardy Herron, 1x Edgy Eft, 1x kubuntu, 1x edubuntu) Suse: 5 (1x suse 9.3, 1x suse 10.3) Gentoo: 3 Solaris: 3 Slackware: 3 NetBSD: 2 Red Hat Enterprise: 1 Mandriva: 1 Cygwin: 1 Cumulated Linux: 39 Cumulated others: 12 This is more than the count of participants because some reported more than one OS > * How did you install your copy of geda apps? Distro Repository: 21 Self built packages (rpm or deb): 3 Compiled from cvs/git source: 7 Compiled from cd image: 2 Compiled from tarball: 2 Compiled from unspecified source: 13 Again, more answers than participants. Many users reported to install from binary repositories and also compile from source. > * Which apps do you use. What is your typical workflow? gschem -> pcb: 29 gschem -> PADS: 3 gschem only: 1 pcb only: 2 verilog : 2 iverilog: 2 gnucap: 2 gerbv was mentioned 11x gattrib was mentioned 11x A workflow from gschem to pcb seems to be the major way the suite is used. Everything else is an exception. Few users reported to use one of the simulation tools. > * Did you (have to) modify portions of geda to suit your needs? Answers mostly fell into one of three categories, each of which represented about a third of the responses: a) no b) wrote/tweaked some scripts, created syms and footprints c) regular developers gave a big nodd at this question, of course. However, there are users who modified aspects of geda quite extensively. > * What is the general flavor of your projects? (analog, digital, HF) digital: 10 analog: 6 both: 17 No general preference to be spotted here. ----------------------------------------------- ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
