Hi -- First off, thanks, Ales, for the new release of gEDA! We appreciate all your effort in managing and leading this project!
Following up Ales release of the new 20041228 tarballs, I have incorporated the new gEDA/gaf distribution into my gEDA Suite CD. This CD holds gEDA/gaf, ngspice, gnucap, pcb, Icarus Verilog, and some other related EDA packages. I bundled these things with a GUI-based install wizard which takes care of installing dependencies and oversees the whole installation process. It basically manages the "./configure && make && make install" process for all the included programs; it does not install binaries. Therefore, it is fairly platform-independent (within recent-vintage Linux distributions, that is), but it takes a long time to do the installation. Those interested in an easy-to-install distribution of the gEDA Suite can browse over to my web page: http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/ and download the .iso. Then, burn it to a CD and use the CD to install the entire gEDA Suite on any (Linux) computer you wish. Ales -- Please feel free to stick the .iso & README & Install notes onto the geda.seul.org download page. If you wish, I would be happy to edit the web page for you to include this stuff. However, I figure you should make the call about who edits the web page, so I'll wait for your say-so. Please direct any bug reports related to the install wizard to me. Stuart
