[Fedora-electronic-lab] Dead Upstream what should we do ?
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
Shakthi has recently encountered a situation where I think upstream of
his package is pretty non-responsive, that we can call it dead
upstream.
I went to see on sourceforge to see how many of the EDA tools's
development were pretty much dead. I was surprise to see my bright
ideas unachieved.
So the question is
As a community driven and non-profit opensource EDA leader, what should we do ?
I would like to hear from you how you would like to contribute to
solve this situation.
As far as I'm concerned, I would rather want to take over the upstream
responsibilities and little by little migrate the code/features to an
active upstream of existing opensource EDA software. In other words,
improve the existing supported opensource EDA tools.
It will also be very interesting for new developers who don't actually
know what to contribute to the opensource community.
Kind regards,
Chitlesh

#78: Need EDIF 300 files for xcircuit feature
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: chitlesh | Owner: shakthimaan
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Upstream
Component: Starter task | Version: devel
Keywords: xcircuit, edif |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
= problem =
Xcircuit is currently missing the support for EDIF 300.
= enhancement recommendation =
Since upstream and I don't have a license for edif 300 output, we can't do
much. However we will appreciate to collect your EDIF 300 files so that
work can be carried out. Please use this ticket to attach the EDIF files
or send them to me by email at chitlesh [AT] fedoraproject DOT org.
