I have packaged up LeoCAD [http://www.leocad.org] for debian. It is
a cad program that uses plastic bricks found in many toys (no
particular brand :). It uses gtk+ and can export various image
formats, html pages of the steps, PovRay files, etc.; it supports
animationas well. Very fun for kids (maybe not the very young) well
beyond age 99.
I am wondering if anyone would be interested in sponsoring this so it
will get into the distro. I have a few legal issues to resolve and a
few finishing touches, but most of the work is done.
The sponsorship page at debian.org looks quite full and my guess is
that it takes a long time to get a package sponsored. The author of
leocad (Leonardo Zide) suggested trying to go through debian-jr to
get leocad into debian quicker, and I thought it was a good idea.
I plan on eventually becoming a developer, but I want to make sure I
understand everything first, and I understand the registration
process takes some time.
I apprecite comments and I hope you will be interested.
Thank you.
