  Description     : The Linux GPIB Package is a support package for
GPIB (IEEE 488) hardware.

The Linux GPIB Package is a support package for GPIB (IEEE 488)
hardware. The package contains kernel driver modules, and a C
user-space library with Guile, Perl, PHP, Python and TCL bindings.
The API of the C library is intended to be compatible with National
Instrument's GPIB library. The Linux GPIB Package is licensed under
the GNU General Public License.

I'm not planning to maintain this package. But, since it is
extremly useful when you have to control instruments, I considered
to fill the report to encourage someone to maintain it.
