Package: avrdude
Version:7.1+dfsg-3+b2 Dear maintainer, In the 'avrdude' package provided in
Debian, parallel programmers support is disabled. Indeed, this is off by
default. It has to be enabled as a build option to work. Enabling
parallel programmers support is not harmful in any way to a computer
without a parallel port. The said programmers just show up in the list
(avrdude -c ?) but are unusable. However, this option off prevents using
those programmers even if a parallel port is available. You can't bring
them back using the config file, avrdude has to be rebuilt with the
option on. I suggest the Debian package enables parallel programmers
support in avrdude. When using build.sh provided by upstream, line 67
has to be uncommented. When building with Cmake, it can be done passing
"-D HAVE_PARPORT=1".
