Bug#362157: O: tilp -- TI calculator <-> PC communication program for X
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi,
I intend to orphan the tilp package.
The package description is:
TiLP is a Texas Instruments calculator <-> PC communication program for
Linux. It is able to use any type of link, like the original TI GRAPH-LINK
(both black and grey cables), the homemade "$4 serial link", or the
"$5 parallel link". It even supports the new TI GraphLink USB, using the
tiglusb kernel module. See http://lpg.ticalc.org/.
.
With TiLP, you can transfer files from your PC to your Texas Instruments
calculator, and vice-versa. You can also make a screen dump, a backup, transfer
a backup to the calculator, or take control of your TI from your PC, or even
install a new version of AMS on your calc !
.
You might be interested in the tidev-modules-source package which allows you
to build a set of three kernel modules. These modules are three drivers for
different link cables (serial, parallel, USB) which require running TiLP with
root privileges. With these modules loaded and the appropriate rights on the
device nodes, this won't be necessary.
You will probably be interested in the related, also orphaned, packages:
tiemu, skinedit, tidev-modules-source, libtifiles0, libticables3, libticalcs4
JB.
