* Package name : replicatorg Version : 0023 Upstream Author : Zach Hoeken, Marius Kintel, Adam Mayer et al. * URL : http://replicat.org/ * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: Java (UI), Python (CAD file conversion backends) Description : Simple 3D printing program ReplicatorG is a simple, open-source 3D printing program. . It is designed to drive a Makerbot CupCake CNC, a RepRap machine, or any generic CNC machine that is able to understand G-code. . This software is able to directly drive the machine with a G-code file, or can process an STL file to generate the G-Code. An integrated interface allows the user to do simple transformations on the STL object before processing it.
Hi, I was curious how the work was coming on getting replicatorg into Debian. I'm a bit curious as to why bug 613297 is a blocker; I didn't think replicatorg used twitter at all. If you do decide not to continue working on this, could you at least post what you've done so far? Jeremy
Le 16/01/2012 à 05:22, Jeremy Bicha <jbicha@ubuntu.com> écrivit : Hello Jeremy, and thanks for your interest in replicatorg packaging, In replicatorg, at least until version 24, there was a "twitter bot" plugin which could be used for the machine to tweet what it has printed... I'm not sure if it's still available as I haven't followed ReplicatorG development lately. My latest gut feeling was to patch it out, seeing the problems with the twitter module. The only problem I see for packaging replicatorg and see it accepted in Debian is the number of "embedded" copies of skeinforge (I already expunged avrdude without a hiccup, and the java libraries are available). I intended for the replicatorg source package to build a binary package for each version of skeinforge embedded, each of them providing a common "skeinforge" virtual package on which the "replicatorg" binary package would depend. I've been swamped by work lately, and didn't have time to use a MakerBot since september (yay PhD). Fortunately, my workload is tapering off and I'd be glad to have someone co-maintain the package! I'll clean up what I have right now to push it to collab-maint so you can take a look. (Oh, yeah, that'll have to wait for alioth to come back up too :) I'll ping you when it's ready) Cheers,

The packages work, at least as far as I can test without a bot at hand. I split the binary packages for replicatorg and skeinforge-{35,40,44}. The last thing that needs to be done is updating the debian/copyright information (actually, to put some information in there), which I should be able to do this evening. Some of the patches could use some DEP-3 tagging and forwarding upstream (only 0006-Make-the-crash-check-more-robust.patch seems useful upstream, the other ones are for DFSG-freeness). Then I intend to put the package up for review at mentors.debian.net and hopefully get it sponsored into the archive. If you'd like to help, just let me know, we can work things out on IRC (I'm available as olasd on OFTC and Freenode) or by email. Cheers,
Willing to help package this. Does anyone have any updated work on this I can start pushing on this? I was going to just do a PPA, but if you guys have some existing work I'd love to help push you over the finish line.
* 4 mars 2013 23:56 CET, Matt Joyce <matt@nycresistor.com>: Hi, Everything I have done so far is available in collab-maint git. The packages were in working shape and have been used in my former robotics club to drive a makerbot cupcake. However, I think the licensing needs to be clarified (a lot) before replicatorg can enter the archive. At least it did at the time of 0029r2: there are bits from processing, arduino, and the oh-so-nice pile of python for the N bundled skeinforge versions, most of those not having individual licensing info. It's a bit scary. I don't have easy access to the makerbot hardware anymore, so my motivation to chase down those licensing issues quite low. Furthermore, for my reprap at home, I'm using printrun and Slic3r and didn't feel the need to use ReplicatorG. I'd be glad to guide you through getting the packaging up to par for the latest version, and track down those pesky licenses to try and release the package to Debian. Hope this helps,
retitle 613210 RFP: replicatorg -- Simple 3D printing program noowner 613210 tag 613210 - pending thanks Hi, A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging replicatorg. Unfortunately, it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging the software. This is an automatic email to change the status of replicatorg back from ITP (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last 15 months. If you are still interested in packaging replicatorg, please send a mail to <control@bugs.debian.org> with: retitle 613210 ITP: replicatorg -- Simple 3D printing program owner 613210 ! thanks It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to time, by mailing <613210@bugs.debian.org>. If you need guidance on how to package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list. Thank you for your interest in Debian,
