Component: FEL | Version: devel
Resolution: | Keywords: Source

Comment (by shakthimaan):
---
| Inclusion of Source packages will also mean to include all the -devel
dependencies used to
| build each SRPM. This might be 2/3 times the size of the current
livedvd.
\--
Is it possible to get a rough estimate on what this size is?
---
| FEL is already a standalone solution for electronics. To design
electronics there is no need
| for source code.
\--
If we want to get more developers for EDA tools and/or packaging for
Fedora/FEL, they will require the source. And using FEL as a one-stop
market solution in this process will only facilitate the same.
---
| But the source code is available for anyone to download if he/she wants
with:
|
| yumdownloader --source pcb
\--
This is where the slow dial-up is a hindrance, and is _not_ an option.
---
| And, to my knowledge, anaconda does not support the inclusion of the
SRPMs in the livecd.
\--
Is it possible to make another DVD or two, so whoever is interested in
development, packaging for FEL, can be given the source RPMS for building
with their existing install setup?
---
| I see no reason why the source code and build packages should be
entailed into the livedvd, in | order to make FEL useful for education,
\--
For learning to use the source of the tools, to study it, develop with it
and maintain the same for FEL.
---
| The reason why FEL exists is because of the lack of packaged opensource
EDA tools in the
| community. Thus it is meant to shield the user from building the eda
tools for scratch and
| jump straight to the electronic design and simulation.
\--
I am focusing on getting more developers and packagers, after people start
using them.
