Bug#323678: O: xcircuit -- Draw circuit schematics or almost anything
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of xcircuit, David Z Maze <dmaze@debian.org>,
has orphaned this package. If you want to be the new maintainer, please
take it -- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for
detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.
The maintainer writes:
| xcircuit does seem to have an active upstream, and there is a small
| minority who like it; geda has a similar schematic editor. It's a
| slightly involved package involving C with Python and/or Tcl
| integration, and the outstanding bugs mostly address portability issues
| (and, more recently, the /usr/doc symlink). Although it should not be
| particulary hard to maintain, arguably there are better alternatives for
| it.

Description: Draw circuit schematics or almost anything
xcircuit is a generic drawing program tailored for making circuit
diagrams.
.
The graphical interface attempts to maintain consistency between
X11 window rendering and the pure PostScript output.
.
xcircuit is mouse, menu and keyboard driven. The emphasis is on
single character macros.
