Package: qucs Version: 0.0.4 Severity: normal
-- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Hi, Linux ECAD is the topic today (electronics CADs). qucs is on sourceforge.net and works with debian easily. It seems to be far better than any package debian has and is under active developement. While SPICE/gnucaps/tclspice may have more accurate simulation - qucs offers the longest list of reproduceable sample simulations (qucs has its own simulator engine - GNUPL). QUCS is very easy to use and seems nicely stable. And the simulations are based on firm mathematics (which is being developed). I think qucs should be in debian because it allows users to quickly build and anylyse ciruits like no other ECAD product I've tried using debian packages or others. Oh. A real debian bug too. Oregano is labeled a GPL sim. However it is just a graphic interface for spice3: and it's "oregano2" which is a rewrite of oregano for Gnome. Debian doin't have spice3 (and I'm still looking for that, since ngspice and spicep08s have compile environment glitches - the annoying kind). This is a great list too: http://linas.org/linux/ecad.html PS: These I've compiled on debian: xoscope, chime, qucs These I gave up on; because other source are more promising: these are no good unless you like wasting time on win32 hacked things: spicep08s (not spice3f5...), xosKope, ngspice (I'm still looking for spice3f !!)
